Snow Day!

Ok, so technically, when you are a SAH mom, you can't really consider them "snow days" but for the sake of the day - I'm gonna! We keep ourselves so busy around here that to take a whole day just to play in the snow and around the house is sort of like a "snow day" for us - so we'll take whatever excuse we can get. We started off the day with a sausage, egg, and toast breakfast - and I'll tell you what, this little boy can PUT AWAY some sausage! The eggs and toast he would rather pass on, but after cutting up 4 sausage links, I'd say he was full enough... And of course we had to call Dramaw to tell her that we were gonna play in the snow!

We got all geared up in our camo overalls (thanks Pap!) and our John Deere boots. And we couldn't get to the door fast enough! Funny thing was that the boots aren't as "flexible" as most shoes, and little Mr. had quite a tough time adjusting to the new feel!

Lincoln took off running towards the snowy yard like a mad man! He was so excited!

But with the combination of the boots and the thick snow, it only took a minute before we went face-first into it... Which was not funny... At least not to Lincoln...

But a quick sled ride across the yard seemed to cure that!

It was awfully cold though, and I sure didn't want him to get sick - so we didn't tarry too long. And I think Lincoln was ready to go in anyways!

But only after we shook the snow off in the garage!

Once inside, we made (or I guess I made??) hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies. Needless to say, he was more than happy to take a comfy seat in front of the cartoons to munch on a cookie! And of course, what are cookies without a side of Cheerios? Does anyone else feel like the snacktrappers really AREN'T all they're cracked up to be? Take a close look around Lincolns chair... Yep, after vacuuming twice, I finally decided to just wait until all the O's were gone!
After daddy got home, we had to make a batch of snow cream. And might I add it was the BEST snow for snow cream! What a fun day!
