today was our first snow day this year
the girlies barely got breakfast down
before throwing on their snow gear
and running out to the white gold that filled up our yard
they peeled back their layers
only for a quick hot chocolate intermission
then got right back out there
had i not said it is time to get inside for lunch and school,
the remainder of our day would have been spent
making tracks,
building snow castles,
filling up the wagon
etc
and even during school, they asked to do our reading
and any other schoolwork possible
right beside the windows
so that they could look out at the wonder of it all
and of course i somehow managed to get photos of everything
but the actual playing outside that happened...figures!
