Snow Days

I had mixed feeling when I realized the snow was on it's way. I LoVe, LOvE, lOvE a good snow but I am less than excited about making-up school days. Last year, we went to school in June because we had so many make-up days. So, Wednesday afternoon when most of the teachers we're doing the "snow dance" I was praying that it would pass us by. But, it's hard not to get that warm, fuzzy feeling when you read DAVIESS COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, KY-CLOSED scroll across the bottom of the screen at 5:00 in the morning. It's always nice to curl back under the covers with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. Except, this year, that wasn't necessarily the case. As soon as I got back under the covers, Carly decided she was ready to get up and play. We stayed inside most of the day, but I couldn't resist the temptation of bundling Carly up and seeing her reaction to the snow. Oh, it was so difficult to get her into her gear and even harder for her to move around in it. As you can see in the pictures she had a little trouble moving aound. She spent most of her time on her hands and knees while we were outside...yet, she didn't seem to mind. As soon as she came in we shared a cup of hot chocolate while hanging out in our pjs. What better way to spend a snow day! Carly started runnning a fever on the second snow day so we pretty much stayed home the rest of the weekend. I painted a couple of art canvases for Valentine's Day (my first experience with this) and pulled out the finger paints for the little one. She seemed to enjoy painting and I was surprised by how much I did. Maybe I started something!! It's Tuesday now and most of the snow has melted away...but some good memories were made on our first snow day of 2010!!
