They say it's been nearly 7 years since we got this much snow at once. Monday, we finally got a good ol' fashioned MN snowstorm!
Luckily the kiddos were already off of school for a workshop day. Daddy was able to work from home, so we were all safe and cozy! School even got called off the next day!
Mason and I weren't about to get left inside this time :) We went out in the afternoon when Daddy wanted to do his first shift of snow blowing. Added bonus when it's not too windy or too cold to go out and enjoy the snow storm!
He helped a lot of neighbors out there were stuck getting home from work or that their snow blowers weren't working. Any excuse to get extra use out of the snow blower :)
C-Mile Minnesota Sibs!
Snow much fun!
Taking it all in!
Waving at the Cardinal in the neighbor's bush, extra pop of color against the pretty white snow
Daddy's favorite, cardinal on the feeder!
Earlier in the day I busted out the play-doh, I can probably count on one hand how many times I've brought this out. They loved it, of course!
Daddy's meal, Diet Mountain Dew, Big noodles in a bowl, side of fries complete with a spoon and a fork
We also braved the roads earlier in the day for dentist appointments for Sally & Libby. All clear on the cavities. Sally needs to force some teeth out soon otherwise she's need to get them pulled...braces are definitely in her future...
Queen of Stubbornness. Standing, turned around, with her hands in her pocket because she wanted to snuggle with mommy BEFORE Libby read me a book. It's tough being a three year old, especially when your mom is WAY more stubborn than you'll ever be ;)
Loved that the no school snow day had no wind and full sunshine! We were out twice in a day! My morning workout
They could play for hours...love their creativity
Insert witty caption about MN kids being stronger and more able to persevere because they grow up playing outside in snow deeper than they are tall, with gloves falling off and snow in the face and...
Sally has a new responsibility that she loves. She gets to let our neighbor's dog out each afternoon. Libby will join in the outside fun every once in a while
the other day, I had a day where I soaked up all the little things. Days are going quickly and my gig will soon be up with Littles home during the day
It's all about perspective
You know you've got a good one, when your Bestie willingly packs up her 3 girls and comes to hang with your two kids so you can go and get your hair done during the day. Not to mention she has a husband who travels on the weekly. I Heart you Kari!! Thank you thank you thank you!
Pictures while I was getting my hair did....ooooh Emma :)
Mia & Mason starting to be aware of one another
Emma finished her Butterfly Sticker Mosaic!
The cutest Little Brother watching his sisters shovel. Love that he can barely peek out the window
Oh, she's a fun one to watch at swimming lessons. She's going to be a hilarious student...I can only imagine the messages and stories we'll hear from her teachers
Emma insisting on walking up to go say Hi to her friend, Harper
Afternoon walk with neighbors. Brecken and Emma have always had a special bond
Mister Mason discovered the joy of sending things flying down the stairs
Out for a little one on one time with Libby, coming home from our walk, we had someone excited to greet us as the front door
Game Day ready, thank you Goddaughter. If only the Vikings would have showed up to play...still fans through and through
Libby was excited to start swimming lessons
Sally's an old pro. She was excited to begin to learn how to do a flip turn
Cute little Valentine thing Sally created during one of her quiet times
Happy Last week in January!
