Snow day.

We love living in an area where the climate means snow may or may not happen each time it's predicted, sometime between October and April. And we love that when it does happen, it is novel, and fun, and whether two or twelve inches, the whole city shuts down.

What a great day, spent mostly getting the kids dressed and undressed in their many layers, with a few moments for sledding in between.

This was Keelyn's rather permanent expression throughout her outside time today. Not a huge fan of the cold this year, but a trooper for the sake of the rest of us. In her defense, it was sleeting in her face, and I don't blame her for preferring a good book inside by the fire. And she complained about her feet for about five minutes before I realized she'd put her shoes on the wrong ones. See?
Hailey, on the other hand, was pulling every trick she could think of just for five more minutes of snow time. This was her permanent expression. She gleefully ran around the yard by herself with a huge grin. Throwing snow, sliding down the hill on her bum, and filling the "ice sickle trash can" with as much snow as possible. She had a ball.
