Snow Day

I think I've mentioned before that where we live all it takes is the forecast of snow to get everyone excited. This morning we got about 2 inches of snow and because the roads were untreated it was a mess. Den made it in via METRO and I just worked at home.

Cookie and kids meanwhile spent much of the day outside. I think this first picture of Eddie putting Josie's hat back on is so adorable. He really can be quite the helper with her.

So these are all out of order, but here they are after a long morning at the local sledding slop getting a ride home.

Eddie has been asking about eating snow for some time--and he finally got to try. Apparently Josie didn't want to end the taste test...(her photo of same is at the end).
Here they are just after Cookie spent 20 minutes getting ready to go. Fortunately Josie was in diapers and Ed is a camel, so there were no last minute bathroom trips.
Den said the front yard is completely bare from all the running around in the snow.
The one after is Eddie pulling J to the local sledding spot.

All I can say is thank goodness Cookie loves the cold. Otherwise it would have been a 10 min. jaunt outside if it were up to me.

The kids are getting really good at putting toys away when told. They have also mostly been sleeping until nearly 7, which is really nice. Now since Den goes away next week, I am sure they will begin to wake at 5am, just for me.
