Snow Day

We woke up this morning to snow falling and its been snowing ever since. Jacob is working weird hours so today he was home during the day which is/was awesome because I needed his help with the girls outside. Poor Olivia kept falling down every other step until she finally got the hang of walking in the snow but she still face planted it many a time. Savannah was obsessed with making a snowman and Jacob was the perfect assistant to help her with that task. We also discovered that Savannah has grown out of her snow pants which are the perfect size  for Olivia and all us girls are in desperate need of snow gloves. When I was getting the girls dressed to go outside I kept thinking of the movie Christmas Story where the mom is getting Randy dressed and what a huge production it is. Savannah jokingly even said "I can't get my arms down!" I almost died laughing. We had a blast making snow angels and building our snowman. After I make cookies and the girls have a snack we plan to go out for round two. Savannah already tried to sneak out earlier and came in with wet pants and cold feet since she didn't think to put her boots on. Olivia cried when we brought her in the first time so were thinking she wouldn't mind going out again. Fun times are to be had here at our house that's for sure. I really do enjoy the snow as long as I don't have to go anywhere in it and so far I'm not scheduled to leave my house till Friday so I think I'm good.

 

Surprise!

So yesterday was beautiful! You were given a brief glimmer of hope that spring was in fact on the way. So needless to say I was quite surprised this morning when I woke up and found this.



Savannah on the other couldn't wait to get dressed so she could go out and play for a bit.

Snowmen and Swimming

So Savannah has become quite the little movie watcher just like her dad. I liked this when I was at the end of my pregnancy with Olivia because I was so tired all the time I just wanted her to leave me alone. Sad to say but also true. Now that I'm not pregnant and have a bit more energy I decided to make Savannah and activity jar. When we need help thinking up something to do we pick something out of our activity jar and off we go. So yesterday we had our first snow fall. Now it really wasn't much but it was enough to get Savannah all excited.

She let me get her all dressed up finally and off she went. I won't lie her favorite activity was eating the ice off our screen, gross I know but so funny to watch. I kept waiting for her tongue to get stuck like in A Christmas Story. She didn't actually make a snowman mostly because I didn't go outside with her. We have cute little footprints all over our backyard and she keeps asking to go back outside.

So after Savannah's outside adventure we picked out an activity from our jar...swimming in the bathtub! Needless to say Savannah was oh so excited cause she got to wear her cute bathing suit and she loves playing in the water.Overall I think Savannah had a fun day, and I felt better because we didn't watch so many movies. A cute side note, she kept pretending she was "me mar" you know the Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Oh how I love this girl!
