Snow Day!

So to us Northern Utahan's today's events are pretty hilarious but to St. Geogians it was a miracle! We had snow stick for more than a few hours, over night in fact!! Over four inches so of course no school SNOW DAY!!! We don't have snow tires on the school buses or snow plows for that matter, it never snows and sticks here! The kids thought it was great along with all the poor born and raised snow deprived kids! Me on the other hand, HATE the stuff, I moved here for a reason! I still remember the shoveling, the bulking outerwear, and driving in the winder wonderland. Brielle still had school and I had to help with her Christmas party ( which went really well.) So when we got home we played in the snow a bit. In St. George we use cookie sheets as sleds until you can dig out the sleds, and regular shovels in place of snow shovels. Brielle didn't like wear tons of clothes and didn't want to play in the snow, instead she would run outside grab a handful to eat and run back in and drink coco. Hunter on the other hand I didn't see all day! I came home from girls night and my hubby and kids are making a snowman at 8pm! He is a kid at heart and I got out of the house so I can't complain that the kids should be in bed not making Frosty! The kids have on their pj's and coats and nothing else and TJ is wearing shorts and a t-shirt and latex gloves, Sophie was in a hat, coat, and blanket in her car seat and nothing else!!! So I helped finish Frosty and Brielle puts a carrot down there and says Frosty needs a pee-pee. I know what child thinks of that!! I am going to have my handsful with her! Frosty looks great and the kids went to bed with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads!

Your snowman turned out great. I think there is a snowman in every yard that has a child. They are loving it. The cookie sheet thing is a good idea. We couldn't find our sleigh, so my kids had to go without. Have a merry christmas is I don't see you before.
