Snow day fun!
We finally had enough snow to play in! And it’s sticking around! (I also can work from home, at times, so I luckily don’t *have* to be out on the roads.) I drove home in a snowy mess yesterday and from the looks of my Facebook and Twitter feeds, I made it home just in time. The roads are atrocious and there are so many accidents out there.
SO. I left work early yesterday, headed home and did some work, and then received the text that daycare was closing early. I finished up some of my work and we picked up the little guy early. (No worries on the work front, I finished up some more emails later in the evening. You know, just in case you were wondering if I actually completed my work day.)
My mom made his mittens. And the handy crocheted string that runs through his coat sleeves, so the mittens don’t get lost.
10 minutes. That’s the amount of time we spent outdoors. This boy loves his snow boots. And he really loves catching snowflakes on his tongue.
A little snow on the face doesn’t hurt, either.
Poor birds need a shovel to get into their house.
It was a really fun day.
Is it snowing in your part of the country? I hope this finds you safe and warm – after having a little bit of fun in the snow. And here’s hoping we have at least one more play date in the snow.
Oh how fun for you guys. Around here, that is just a dusting, so we wouldn’t even bother, but if you don’t get snow often I can see how that would be fun!!
Great pictures, thanks for sharing! We got our fair share of snow here in Ottawa (Canada), but unfortunately it is too cold to be outside for too long!
you know about our 13″ snowdrift from this weekends snow….i’m over the neagtive temps here, but i’ll keep the snow on the ground (note i did not say roads) as long as we can!
He looks adorable!
YAY FOR SNOW! He looks like he had a great time!
Awesome that you were able to leave work and have some fun. He looks like he really enjoyed the snow.
Those mittens are so cute! We’re having a snow day here, too.
Adorable! I can’t wait for my little girl to see snow for the first time. She was in born in Colorado but we shortly moved back to Florida. No snow here but we will definitely be going back to visit during the winter months!
We live in South Carolina and we got our first snow in years down here and we just went and played in it this morning! My dog LOVED it, she had such a blast! Makes me wish we could have snow more often…but no ice 😉
Your son is precious, he looks like he is having a blast. But those poor birdies, they need a shovel STAT. Good luck with that lol.
So cute! I love little ones in the snow! We’ve had snow on the ground for the past 2 weeks, but it’s sooooo cold, we really can’t let our 2 year old out to play in it. He played one day for about 5 min.
Snow days are so much fun! I only wish here in Iowa that it were warm enough to go outside and play in it!! Hah! Cute pictures! It’s always nice to have a little down time to enjoy with family.
Oh how I wish we could experience snow here in Miami! It looks so beautiful and like such fun!
We’ve spent an hour outside each morning and afternoon that it’s been snowing! Snowman, sledding and trudging are seldom done ATL activities!
I totally LOL’ed about only lasting 10 minutes outside! The snow is always so fun, but you’re right – for about 10 minutes.
We had our first snow last night here in middle GA. The kids spent so much time outside today. There were snowball fights, 4 wheeler rides, snowman making, and just walks through the pretty scenery.
These are such good pictures! I love a good snow day!
You really captured the moment! We had our first snow of the season yesterday!
Aww, your son is sooo cute!! Yes it is snowing here and I kinda wish it would hurry up and be Spring!!
We had a snow day yesterday and had a blast!
it’s too cold for snow here in ct. the kids are wanting to make more snowmen and we’ve got nothing!!
His rosy snow-covered cheeks are positively adorable! Snow days are fun!
We got enough here in Georgia too. My 3 year old had a blast playing in the snow for the first time ever. He didn’t care for the gloves but wanted them once he realized the snow was SUPER cold! 🙂
We live in Georgia, so we have had a few snow days too. My kids love to play in the snow, we have had a blast!!
Snow days were my favorite back east. I do not think my son will get many of those here in Vegas.
love that string that runs through the sleeves. i remember it even when I was little.
How fun!, He’s adorable! We had a snow day on Tuesday and only got a little bit of ice but the kids LOVED every minute of it.
Awe! Glad you guys got to have a fun snow day.
I love snow days! So much fun. We’ve had a few already this year and I just love to snuggle in with the kids and make it a PJ day!
How fun you guys get snow days!! Bring a little snow to California!
Snow day fun is always good times – as long as it’s not also below zero at the same time! We’ve had a dusting here a couple of times, enough to make Bubbles happy, but not really enough to make a snowman or anything.
The knitter in me looks at the handmade goods! My kids say when you make something by hand it is special because it is made with love in every stitch.
