yeserday was COLD. though our church was cancelled (a combination of road conditions, cold temperatures, and gusts of wind), dan stayed for 9 hours of meetings and such with the bishopric and other auxiliaries getting odds and ends done for the ward. we were happy to see him when he finally got home and the girls patiently waited most of the day to play in the snow with their dad. we bundled up in layers and layers of clothes and braved the snow and frigid temps.
madison couldn't wait to have a snow ball fight and make a snowman. she started running around in the snow the minute we got outside.
grace on the other hand, was grumpy because she hates doesn't like her coats/jackets/sweatshirts zipped so you can imagine her dismay when she had to wear three layers of zipped clothing. she was unsure about the snow and was plenty happy just being carried by dad.
the girl's first encounter with a snow ball.
the snow was super dry and barely held together long enough for madison to throw. next time hopefully we can make a snowman.
we lasted maybe ten minutes before everyone was freezing cold and we headed back inside. (it took twice that long to get all bundled up to go out.) our fingers were frozen and madison cried as hers thawed. i would have cried too, had i been throwing snow balls bare handed in 12 degree weather! the girls cheeks are still chapped and pink today from their quick trip outside yesterday. it was an adventure.
today we declared another pajama day, stayed home from preschool and are enjoying just looking at the snow from inside the warmth of our house. i could get used to this.
