When it seems that our winters now consist of very little snow, let alone any big storms, we have taken to enjoying the little bit of snow when it does come, especially since we never know when some, or all of us, will be too sick to be able to enjoy the snow. So today the schools dismissed early. The storm was only going to be 1-3 inches but it was all supposed to fall between noon and 4pm, so before Gavin got on the bus this morning I had already received the message from the school about the early dismissal. I let Gavin know so he wouldn't be as disappointed when he got to school to find out he was only there for the morning. I was excited to have the afternoon for the kids to play outside. It was fun to have lunch with Gavin and Dane napped early so he was up not long after Gavin got home. It worked out well and we spent a huge part of our afternoon outside. The kids explored the woods, used Gavin's sled, made snow angels, and had a blast just rolling around in the snow.
We went in to warm up some, play, and start dinner but the kids came back out with me when it looked like the snow was nearly finished to quickly push the light fluffy snow off the driveway. They had fun helping and playing a bit more before we headed in for dinner. Although in most ways I wish it was warming up because I prefer the warmer weather, it is a special fun afternoon (or day) with the kids when we get to enjoy some snow!
