SNOW much FUN!!

Oh, it is absolutely AMAZING & REFRESHING to be reminded of just how fun a snow day can be. Jason & I were both off work today, due to the white wonderland that popped up overnight, and have been spending all day hanging with the kiddos. (It's nap time, so I'm sneaking in a little blogging time!!) After rising extra early and eating breakfast together, we played around the house for a little bit and I was actually able to get some laundry done before 7:30 am...Woo-Hoo!! We got dressed and headed over to the YMCA for a little exercise time...kids then picked Quizznos for an early lunch and then we headed home for some fun in the snow. On the way home, we realized the kids didn't have a sled, so we stopped by HyVee Drugstore....no luck. We then hit Walgreens...guess what?!?!...no luck. Pit stopped by Dollar Tree just hoping to find cheap sleds stocked there (no reason to spend a small fortune on something that will get used a few times and then stored away for the rest of the year, right?!?!) Well...no luck at Dollar Tree either. So, finally we went to Target because we know Target has EVERYTHING! Jason ran in and looked around...while he was in the store, Trey, Tylee, and I all took turns guessing what color sled Daddy was going to pick....guess what...NO ONE was right!! Jason ended up picking the perfect sled....you'll have to see the pics below!! Way to go, Daddy-O!!!

We road-tripped home (all of three minutes because we live in the smallest town ever) and got all bundled up in our snow gear!! The kiddos were pumped and had a blast....(Tylee lasted all of 15 minutes outside...but, after TWO face plants, what would one expect?!?!)

Regardless of face plants and even Mommy falling down once or twice (my black, Old Navy, fake Uggs had absolutely NO traction....note to self and any other woman who is 8 months pregnant....NO TRACTION=MAJOR FALLING HAZARD...LOL!!!) the afternoon has been an absolute BLAST!!!

Hope all you snow bunnies out there are enjoying every second of this WONDERFUL snow day and let's remind ourselves of just how BEAUTIFUL & EXCITING the little things in life can be....

Jason and his little snow people heading out for some sledding fun!!!

Trey was in charge of finding the PERFECT sledding spot....

The CUTEST snow bunny EVER!!!

Someone was super excited, but oh so willing to pose for a couple quick snapshots....

Ready for the Ride?!?!

Definitely the PERFECT sled...the kids loved it!! Great find, Jason!!!

I totally have to agree with Trey....the trek back up is definitely the worst part of sledding....

Tylee's attempt at making a snowball to throw at Mommy....silly mittens!!

One of my favorites...enjoying the SNOW and giving me the perfect cheese!!!

Tylee's turn to go sledding....this pic cracks me up!!!

The ride got faster everytime he went down....Weeeeeeeee.....

Jason having fun with Trey (after a major wipe-out of his own!!)....Picture Perfect!!!

Tylee not digging her first face plant of the outing....AT ALL!! Poor girl....snow up the nose is NOT fun!!!

Posing in the backyard....(this pic sums up Tylee perfectly!!!)

No fun afternoon in the snow is complete without a SNOW ANGEL!!!

Hot Cocoa Time!!! Who's bringing the marshmallows???

I LOVE seeing my two favorite people sharing with each other!!! PRICELESS!!!

HAPPY TUESDAY, ALL!!!
