We got just a couple of inches of snow over Christmas vacation. Just enough to keep the kids happy sledding and building a snowman but not enough to require much shoveling efforts from the adults. Perfect!
1. Watch with anxious anticipation as the snow falls. Bonus points if you're still in your pj's!
2. Curl up and color a picture or two. One from your sisters Strawberry Shortcake book will be fine. :)
3. Play a game or 7.
4. Dig out hats, gloves, boots, coats and snow pants (times 5.) Improvise when one child's "pair" of boots are two different sizes. Oops!
5. Add sleds.
6. Be really brave and learn to deal with it when you get snow on your boots. They're called
snow boots for a reason dear child!
7. If you choose to pick a fight with Dad brace yourself.
8. And come up smiling!
9. Convince Mom to put down her coffee and drag her off the couch to come out too. Who else is gonna take the pictures??
10. She might even help you make a snow man. [Note to Self: Remember to by 'real' carrots in the winter time, baby carrots just don't make very good 'noses.']
11. Take some time to enjoy the beauty and play with your camera.
12. Be Thankful for a whole day spent with the people you love the most!
I'm not a huge snow fan but the kids do have fun. This was great because I knew we wouldn't be making up school days in June. I'd be okay with one more decent sized snow storm yet and then it can just instantly be warm and sunny again!
How about you? Are you praying for a blizzard yet or are 3-4 inches over Christmas more than enough to satisfy you?
Happy Friday!
