Snowschool!





Yesterday we woke to at least 3 inches of snow. This is definitely not a usual thing for the south so the children were powered up and ready to go. We did schoolwork for almost 2 hours and then it happened - there was noise on the street and my children tuned into the fun outside. Within seconds, the boys had on their boots and snow gear and they were amidst the neighbors on the street having a snowball fight. MK and I were a bit slower. We dug out the old ski pants of the boys, an old sweatshirt and her little ladybug boots, and off we went. MK, at first, was not impressed. She did declare she was going to build a panda vs. a snowman but when she got outside she had other things in mind. She quickly decided that she could make snowballs too! And throw them at her brothers. Then she proceeded to build gardens, and roll down the hills, all the while her gear coming off here and there....she was real cute. Alas, the fun ended, hands were cold and feet were wet so we headed in to dry off and finish up school.
