We got snow this week! I excitedly showed Anna Ruth the snow outside and immediately got her impressed/excited reaction of "Oh, Why!" . This is Anna's version of "Oh, wow!" and is one of the cutest things I've ever heard in my life. I *may* even look for opportunities to trick her little mind into saying it. :)
For a good part of the morning we enjoyed the snow falling from the comfort and warmth of the house.
Once this bright-eyed beauty went down for a nap (after being strapped to her mama for two hours) Anna Ruth and I put on our snow gear and trekked outside for some snow day fun.
As a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) either every day's a "snow day" or none are. It's one or the other. I remember my teaching days when a snow day meant movies, sleeping, and a general feeling of doing nothing. Relaxation galore. Those days are long gone. Although an excuse to hibernate for a day or two occasionally sounds nice-I'll take working 365 days a year as a mama now any 'ol day. My point-your attitude either determines a party, or a pity-party.
Anna Ruth wore Brett's mismatched gym socks on her hands as mittens and found several good digging sticks in the yard. She was in snow heaven.
Oh, how fun! I'm glad you both got to enjoy the snow before it all melted.
