Yesterday was our fifth snow day of the year. We celebrated by doing our normal Saturday chores on Thursday. Yay! Don't worry, it wasn't all drudgery. We also watched movies and read books and played with play-doh and drank hot chocolate. And some of us played in the snow.
Peter was the first one out. It took Cooper and Phoebe another ten minutes to put on all those layers and follow him into the cold. And it was indeed cold. So cold, in fact, that Bryan told them they had ten minutes to play before they needed to come inside.
That seemed to be just enough time. When they came back in they were cold enough that they wanted hot chocolate, but not so cold that their digits were in danger.
Sophie woke up from her nap while the big kids were outside. She was very interested in watching them through the front door, but that's as close as she got to the frozen fun they were having. That's as close as I got too. She and I stayed inside while Bryan bundled up and ventured out for a few minutes.
I do love snow days when we're all together and cozy at home, but I'm ready for the weather to take a turn toward Spring.
