Snow Day Delay

This morning we got his with some fun white stuff. We haven't had much snow this winter and its been disappointing. The school called early this morning and said we would have a delayed start.
So I quietly turned off the kids alarm clocks in hopes that they would sleep in.
Sadly, they did not. They still woke up early. But it turned out to be perfect because we got to watch the snow come down together.
It really wasn't much and it melted quickly, but it was a fun surprise. 

Benson was so funny. He hasn't had a ton of experience in the snow so this was fun for him. 

He didn't enjoy how cold it was, but he did enjoy grabbing and throwing the snow. 

I love this little face so much. 

Bailey really wanted to make snow angels. Sadly, there wasn't a ton of snow on the ground so it wasn't ideal for snow angels. 

 

Tucker worked hard making a snow man with the very little snow we had. It was more like a snowy lump. But he was proud of his creation. 

Tanner was all about making and throwing snowballs. 

We played for awhile out in the snow, but then we came inside and warmed up with hot chocolate. We got dressed for the day and then watched a movie until it was time for school to start. The delayed start was set for 10 am and it was so nice to have a relaxing, fun morning together. 

We sure hope we get a few more snows this year, but if not- this was a fun little surprise.
