This past Monday was an official snow day!! Schools were closed, which meant I had the day off. I’m not afraid to admit that I literally fist-pumped the air when I read the news!!
I had a productive day planned with the kiddos which included some snow day fun…in the snow, of course! My son was super-pumped and so was my daughter, that is, until we actually stepped outside. As parents, you know all too well that feeling when you’ve prepared the kids to go outside in the winter time-the layering, the fussing to get them to stand still, trying to shove their tiny feet into big boots and they still don’t seem to fit??
Imagine THAT, and then it being all in vain!
Scoping out the situation!
Was it the snow…or was it the fact that she had to wear Dad’s tuque?! 😉
Make-shift slide!
At least I had one happy camper!
Enough is enough! Time to go inside…
Cuddle time on the couch!
We don’t have much snow in Georgia, which is good because the kids would have to go outside without me. I hate being cold. 🙂 But your kids are super cute and I am glad they had a good time for a few minutes before going back inside!
I visited a friend who lives in Atlanta last October and LOVED the weather there! It was beautiful 😉
Oh how I love the stay but we never get much of it here in LA– your kids are freaking adorable though
I would MUCH rather have LA weather ;-)))
These pictures are awesome, I wish we got more snow down here in VA we got like maybe an inch so far.. not nearly enough to really enjoy it.
These pictures are great! I wish we got snow like that here in Ireland I’d love to experience a snow day like that.
Come to Canada then, lol!
Awwwwww looks like y’all enjoyed the snow day!!! My princess hates now… Which don’t get me wrong…. So do I…. But ughhh…. I wish she would play a little bit with me in it 😉
I’m not a fan of snow and I was SO proud of myself that I actually got all bundled up and took them outside…I was actually excited about it! Usually I’M the one who has no desire to be outside in the snow!
Awww…I’d totally play with them in snow like that. One of my life long dreams is to play in snow thick like that. I’d help shovel too. 🙂
And I’m sick of it…too funny, lol! My husband loved the snow when he first moved here but now that he he’s been shoveling it for 8 years he’s sick of it too, lol!
Your kids are so adorable! Looks like they had so much fun! I remember my snow days.
I wish I could feel the same excitement as kids when there is a snow day. I just don’t want all of that cold, soon-to-be-slushiness to keep falling. I think we’re going to get slammed with more snow on Sunday *frown*
Yah, I heard that too! It IS winter though, lol!
Snow days are great when the kids are young like this. They are a lot of fun to go outside and play with.
I agree…but it’ll be nice when they’re old enough and they can go outside and play on their own, lol!
So cute. My kids love the snow, I on the other hand do not. I am more like your daughter, enough is enough.
My daughter is like ME, lol! I’ve come to appreciate the snow and the cold just a little bit since having kids because it reminds me of when I was a child and how much fun it was to play in the snow!
Awww, little cute babies. I like snow days here too.
Looks like you got as much snow as we have been getting lately. My kiddos have had 5 snow days in the past 2 weeks. Your kiddos are so cute.
Wow!! You must live in the States then? Our schools hardly ever have snow days!
Lisa, your kids are beautiful! I checked the map on Monday and thought Windsor wasn’t in the radar of snowstorm. I guess we all got hit badly. Stay warm! 🙂
Thank you!! Yes, we got hit badly! My husband has never seen so much snow…he was in awe (and then he was annoyed after it took him 2 hours to shovel it all, lol!).
Tell hubby it’s free workout time 🙂 hehe
Good one 😉
Your kids are so adorable!!! I can see you all had fun during no-school day! Spending time with family is the best!
It was SO hard to go back to work on Tuesday, lol!
Awww, look how cute they are. Only one was a happy camper but both of them still look adorable. We only had flurries here on Monday. Not much snow to enjoy.
They are so adorable!! So cute to see one of them enjoy
the snow. Haha!
Thank you! Don’t forget, I actually did too! I don’t have proof but I went down that make-shift slide too, lol!
We had a giant dumping of snow earlier in the week. School was closed for the first time on Monday.Unusual for us here in MI. We usually have a few by now.
Your school boards seem to have no issues closing schools!! I’m right across the border…for ours to close is a BIG deal! ;-(
The kiddos look so darling in the snow! I hope that you all continue to enjoy it! Are you dreaming of summer in Italy? xx
Thanks! Yes, I am…my husband even more so!!!
Great pictures. Your children are lovely. I’m ready for this winter to end already but the pictures are nice. Thank you for sharing.
Me too! But winter pics ARE great, aren’t they?
Oh Lisa, your kids are adorable. Stay safe and warm
Thank you Terri 😉
Do you wear thermal clothing inside for more warmth? I think I could not stand that kind of cold weather even if I layer a lot of clothes.
No, its not that cold!! I spent New Years in Quebec and I HAD to wear clothing every day!
Looks like everyone stayed warm and cozy even in the middle of all that snow. Great pics! Diane Sullivan
Yes, we did! Thanks!
Looks like you got a ton of snow too! Looks like you had a great time.
I remember the work of getting my son and myself ready to go outside and have fun – your little ones are beautiful! 🙂
Thank you! Its such a task to get them ready, isn’t it? Especially in the winter!
Ohhh, they are precious! I’m not a fan of snow, it’s cold!
Thanks! And I agree with you about snow, lol!
I would love to play in the snow one day. The one down side to be being born and raised in FL. The slide looked like fun. I don’t think I would want to deal with snow every winter.
Funny you say that..my husband is from an island in the Mediterranean so he’s never actually played in the snow…or shoveled it for that matter! He definitely has mixed emotions about it!
Looks like you guys had some fun in the snow! I’m from Chicago so it snowed a ton there but I’m at school in Indiana and there is barely any snow! Missing the beauty of winter since all we see is leafless trees
I do love winter (at least the lovely scenery) but I’m a warm weather girl at heart 😉
I don’t know what it is about snow that kids find so appealing. I’d much rather stay warm inside.
I know! I wonder at what age your brain realizes that snow is just cold and wet and not fun anymore, lol!
It doesn’t look like you guys got hit too bad. We have about three feet where I am. Yikes.
Actually, we did! Wow! So, we were in the same boat 😉
