Snuggles!

It's our second snow day in a row with Daddy!!

We're doing a lot of snuggling! In our household, we are not the kind of teachers who get all huffy when we get "too many snow days". That phrase just doesn't exist. We will eventually get out of school in the Spring, no matter how many snow days we have. They can't keep ya till July. But during these dog days of winter, when white and ice seems to paralyze us to our houses some days, that snow day phone call is just what we need to make us all giddy and excited!

So yes, we will always love a snow day. And no, we do not understand the grumps who may say otherwise. Maybe it's the kid in us. Maybe it's because yesterday, we had margaritas as noon and chocolate thick shakes for dessert. Wa-hoo. Bring it on Mama Nature.

Love & 5 am phone calls,

Snow Day!

We love the seasons over here in this house. Some more than others (*cough cough* SUMMER), but there are things about every season that is so magical. Swims and picnics in the summer, pumpkin picking and brisk walks in the autumn, gardening and waterfalls coming back to life in the spring, and in the winter...

We have SNOW DAYS.

Being that Hubby and myself are teachers, the magic of the childhood "snow day" lives in our house forever. It is a glorious feeling that fills our four walls. Beginning with the early morning phone call, followed by the blanketing of everything in glistening white.

Oh, the glory of being snowed in together!

And the best part, this year, was that we taught Reilly how to play in the snow.

She loved it! Look at her little froggie pajamas under there. We layered pajamas over pajamas under her snow suit. It was so much fun.

My shnuggly girl and I. I love her being all bundley!

Oh, hi! How do you like the snow day, baby?!

We played Scrabble and made hot cocoa and had soup for dinner.

And that's not even the best part.

The best part is...

another storm's a-comin' our way!


Love & Inside-Out-Pajamas,
