.snow day.

We love snow days ... but they are even better when daddy decides to stay home from work (our road not being plowed this morning had something to do with that)! Hailey, Justin and Sydney are at an age where they will stay outside for hours and hours playing in the snow. And with daddy home to help them build an igloo and a snowman, they were entertained pretty much all day!

Daddy digging us out!
Thankfully, eventually our kind neighbor offered to let us use their snowblower!
The walk was the easy part!
My 3 big kiddos!

The igloo ... this thing is massive (and has 2 tunnels to get into it)!
One of the entrances/tunnels ...
the other tunnel ...
It's kind of hard to see the kiddos in there! And just in case anyone is worried about the igloo collapsing on our kids, you can take comfort in knowing that my hubby spent hours engineering this thing!

While the big kids were outside with daddy having a blast, I stayed inside and had fun hanging with my little love! Of course, since much of her life is spent sleeping ... I also baked, cleaned, tidied up the school room (a much needed tidying up!), did laundry and supplied the needed food, drinks and dry socks for the snow troops! Here are some pics of our happy little scoocher (she doesn't like to stay put)!

She loves to play on her belly ... and do push-ups ...
and look at herself in her turtle mirror ...
But eventually she scooches to a completely different place ...
Which is why she hangs out in the megasaucer pretty often!
She also recently decided that it's fun to try and get up on all fours .... yikes!

I love family snow days!
