We had our first little snow today…it was less than an inch really. Not a big deal except the children thought it was the greatest thing to ever happen. Gabriel woke up and came rushing into my bedroom, “Mama, Mama! There’s snow! It’s Beautiful! Come See!” As I struggled to wake up I heard him singing in the living room, ” See the Beautiful snow. See the Beautiful snow.”
Snow Day
After breakfast, we ventured forth in the crisp morning air, dragging Papa with us. Jade couldn’t decide what was better, the snow or the puddles. She kept saying, “Puddles, Puddles Mama! Look at Me!” and “Snow, Snow Mama! Look at Me!”
We made our way to the neighborhood playground and thus began an epic snowball fight. Poor Papa was trapped in the play set as snowballs pelted him from both children.
Then, Jade tripped and fell while running and the result was….tragic…she wasn’t hurt, thankfully. It seemed her face caught her.
Time to trudge back inside for warm baths and cookies.
Thus our epic snow adventure came to an end. Until the next snow, that is.

Anything is better than nothing – that’s what I say. An inch or a foot. Everyone gets their boots on and goes outside and plays!
Thanks so much for sharing on the #homeschoollinkup!

Isn’t it wonderful how much joy children take from just being out in the snow? A real lesson there for us adults who often see it as an inconvenience! Would love you to link this up at my #sharethjoy link up if you’d like to… http://bodfortea.co.uk/2015/03/share-the-joy-link-up-8.html

I find children help us to remember the joy of many things if we are open to them. Thank you for the invite! I popped over and added my link ๐

So much fun!!!! I love it! I live in South Florida, so I’m denied snow days, but every so often we get hurricane days… That seems to happen once every 5 years or so.
Thanks for stopping by the #FridayFundayParty!
Erin Vincent says
Oh, I remember hurricanes! I grew up on the coast of South Carolina. I remember HUGO! Not nearly as fun as snow!
Debbie says
How sweet! Love the pictures. I’m in Texas and we’ve had thunder sleet, accumulating snow, flurries and more accumulating snow coming today and then tonight freezing rain and sleet. What a week but the snow was beautiful and lasted only for a morning.
Erin Vincent says
Thank you for stopping by Debbie! I hope you got to enjoy the snow ๐
Camie says
Snow days are fun! Even with a little mud mixed in. I hope we get some snow days now that we are back in our home state. My son really misses playing in snow. So far it’s been a mild winter here. Not usual at all. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Very sweet of you to do so. ~Camie
Erin Vincent says
