"Snow" Day

Most of the schools in middle TN, including Kaitlyn's preschool, were closed for a snow day today. Which would be fantastic if there were actually snow to go along with the snow day. The weather forecasters were calling for 1 - 2 inches of snow, but as it turns out, they overestimated by a bit. Around mid-morning, we finally got a few of the much-anticipated snow showers, and we wound up with a light dusting that was just enough for the kids to play in.

Kaitlyn eagerly bundled up to go outside. Fortunately, she thinks any amount of snow is great. The first thing she wanted to do was build a snowman. Kind of tough when there isn't much snow. But we managed to build a tiny one, and she was thrilled. Here she is showing off the work in progress. Sadly, the finished product wasn't much bigger!

And since this is officially Ethan's first snow, I had to snap a picture of him too. It was a little challenging managing two small ones outside in the cold, wet snow by myself...especially when one is a crawler. So Ethan wound up in the safe confines of the stroller so that I could keep him off of the ground and still have hands free to tend to Kaitlyn and take pictures. I did get him out later and let him touch the snow. He wasn't very impressed and kept pulling his hand away. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of him playing in the snow because I would have needed 4 more arms to manage all of that. Maybe next time!
