My favorite phone call!

One of the most fun moments is when our phone rings at 5:15am on a winter morning, and we know it only means one thing - SNOW DAY!  Last year, we had ten snow days, which was a few too many for us.  But this year, we hadn't had any!  So we were thrilled to get "the phone call" this morning!

Unfortunately, Caeden doesn't understand the meaning of a snow day, and was awake at 6:30am.  But we made the most of it and popped some cinnamon rolls into the oven.  By mid-morning we were out playing in the snow. Last year, we had 26 inches, which was not enjoyable for Caeden.  He was only 18 mos old and stayed outside for about 5 minutes.  So this year, was much more enjoyable.  His favorite part was throwing "snowballs" (a.k.a. handfuls of snow).

Since the snow was sticking together amazingly well, we had to build Caeden's first snowman with him.  But of course, he was not interested in helping.  He just wanted to stand and watch us do the hard work.

He thought about helping for a second...

And then quickly decided against it...notice the face of disgust...

So we quickly finished our mission, and let him help put the carrot nose in.  Again, he did not do this willingly!

And here is our finished Frosty!

Yes, he's a little lopsided.  Thus, resulting in him toppling over a few hours later.  But that's okay - the process was fun!

We then came in for some hot chocolate, more playtime, lunch, and a nap.  After nap, we watched a movie, ran an errand, and then went to eat some ice cream at Mommy's favorite...

We're now home for the evening and are going to spend the last part of our evening relaxing and having Game Night....with the ever-so-popular games of Elefun, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Let's Go Fishin', and Wheels on the Bus!  Now, I have to tell you our Snow Day was not perfect...we still had lots of two-year-old fits throughout the day.  But overall, it was a fun and relaxing day as a family!  Thank you God for snow!
