Snow Day 2018
A few weeks ago, we got snow. We typically get snow about once a year, and usually just a few inches. It snowed back in December, which was crazy, so this snow was sort of unexpected for me since we’d already hit our one-snow limit.
We went to bed with nothing, and woke up to a winter wonderland. TV reports said we got 3 inches but we measured with a ruler and got 6 inches at our house. There was plenty for the girls to play in – and play they did!
Karsten is more like me. I loved seeing the snow, and enjoyed going out in it for a bit, but then I’m ready to go back inside. Karsten was the same way. It took 30 minutes to get her bundled up, and she enjoyed the outside for about 10 minutes, but then she wanted hot chocolate. Oh to be three again.
Kate would have stayed outside all day long if we’d let her. She is an outside girl and the cold didn’t bother her a bit! If only I could be a bit more like her in this.
The boys think snow is the best thing ever. They have a nice warm house, filled with cedar chips. You’d think they would cuddle up inside but nope – they like to sleep on the snow.
Now that we’ve had a snow day in 2018, I think that’s enough for this year. We love it. Just not all the time. 🙂 Us southerners aren’t equipped for snow, and being stuck at home for days is difficult with two little ones!

Hi! I see that you were in Ukraine for several times already and probably know much about the situation with the lack of funding there, of the orphanages namely. We are collecting donations for the needs of the orphanage in Shpola. A single dollar may help to improve their living conditions https://hopenowusa.org
