Snow day!

We are currently in the midst of a heck of a snow storm! We've had a couple of days off school so far (and I've not been able to work) so we're snuggled in tight and having a good time of it.

A couple of weeks ago we had another good snow storm (and days off of school) and so the girls got to really go out and play in the snow for the first time. It had been snowing for part of the afternoon and as I took the littles to pick up Eldana after school it just kept coming and coming down. As we drove home I called Matt and told him to get the snow boots ready! I was so excited to take the kids out to play RIGHT THEN. They had a great time - so much fun! My favorite part was that when we opened the front door the snow was really coming down and Abigia started giggling. Just giggling the cutest canyoubelieveit'sreallysnowing kind of giggle. The sweetest.

This was right before we went inside. That is Eldana's sad little snowman. She was desperate to build a snowman, but it wasn't good packing snow, so she settled for a little pile of smiling snow.

I love this blurry action shot of a snowball battle.

Eldana helping Eliana up for the 200th time.
Poor Eliana was just like Ralphie's little brother in A Christmas Story. She kept falling down in her snowsuit and couldn't get back up no matter what she did. I, being the good mother that I am, laughed out loud each and every time.

How cute are these two girls!?
