Around noon last Thursday, Oklahoma began receiving the first of this year's ice/snow storm. Of course we had school on Thursday and all of the kids were so excited to see the ice falling from the sky. I on the other hand was not. Mostly because I wanted to be home and did not want to have to drive home on the icy roads.
I was able to leave work a little early because Megan and Addy's daycare closed at 4. It took me at least an hour to leave work, get both girls and get home. Typically I can make that in 50 minutes with me feeding Adalyn at daycare.
I was so glad to finally make it home and to learn that school was being closed for Friday!
I have needed another catch up day so bad! (I took Monday off so I could play catch up, but didn't get caught up with house stuff- only HPA stuff.)
DJ was home on Friday too!
We spent most of the day putting away laundry, washing more laundry, cleaning the bathroom, bedrooms, kitchen, vacuuming. And, even though I'm still not 100% done, my house looks better than it has in weeks!
After nap time DJ took the girls out to play in the snow.
Megan has proper snow play attire, because she has Gretchen's hand me down snow suit. (We had to be prepared when we lived in Indiana.) Poor Gretchen had to double up on socks, shirts, and pants. She keeps asking why she doesn't have a snow suit.
So glad that DJ was home to take them outside!
I think they were outside for maybe 10 minutes before the girls decided they were too cold. To be fair, their gloves are not proper snow gloves. And their hands were ice!
We convinced them to go outside one more time so I could get some pictures.
Megan was wearing a pair of my gloves since hers were covered in ice.
Gretchen decided to eat the snow.
Megan didn't really want to play much once we went back outside. She stayed on the sidewalk with me.
I wonder if we are the only people on our street with a fully clean side walk and drive way. The perks of having a snow shovel from when we lived in Indiana.
With my girls!
DJ and Gretchen.
DJ pulled the girls around on the sled and they had a snowball fight before we came inside. I didn't get pictures because I took video instead.
Gretchen's face says it all!
It was cold!
We came inside and Gretchen exclaimed that she was never, ever playing in the snow again!
Megan cried and cried because her hands were so cold!
She just wanted to cuddle up with daddy.
Gretchen got warm by the fire.
DJ and Gretchen also made his family's recipe of chex party mix yesterday.
We already ate one dish of it by Friday night!
He also made his dad's chili for dinner!
(I love having him home!)
After dinner, we decorated the Christmas tree (post coming soon) and the girls played a bit more before bed!
It was a pretty perfect snow day!
I'm going to be honest- praying that Monday is a snow day too!
