A SNOWY DAY! YAY! FINALLY!
I checked the sky before I went to bed and there was SNOW coming down and a fresh coat on the grass. I automatically knew that meant no school for today. I set the boys' clock back 20 minutes so they would get a little extra sleep. They were so excited! Aedan and Mercy's snow jammies worked! hahaha!
The boys were SO eager to go outside to play. They asked all morning, and by all morning I mean starting at 8:00 and every 5 minutes after that. And, when Isaiah came to the door at 8:30 that made them even more ready to go! I told them they had to wait until at least 9:00. So, at 9:02 Aedan was pulling out snow gear from the closets.
They got ready and headed out. It is actually easier to get them ready to go out than it used to be when they were young, so it wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. After they went out, Mercy and I started to get ready. It didn't take us too long, and we were ready to go.
The boys have moved on from simple sledding to snow boarding....yes, standing on their sleds. They actually weren't too bad at it. I will have to start scouting out Essex in town for snow boards. I know Cathy got some there a couple years ago for her boys, but she is the bargain queen when it comes to stuff like that! Maybe I will find some, too. Mercy went sledding with me, Hannah, and Mara. She loved it! I think she wanted to stand like the boys, but would slip as soon as she tried.
After snow boarding and sledding, the kids played in the snow together. We had to keep moving to different spots outside because there wasn't a whole lot of snow. It was enough to be a snow day, though! They had a blast! The boys were outside for two hours total, and Mercy and I were out for about an hour and twenty minutes. We came inside finally, and I made them hot chocolate. Josiah even drank his! (He is starting to like chocolate things more...he'll eat chocolate ice cream now! )
The boys are currently watching a movie while Mercy is napping. I think the snow wore her out. There is more snow in our forecast for tomorrow:)
