Snow Day #2 - the EARLY installment

When I say early, I mean EARLY! Jack was up at 6:30 this morning jabbering about the snow and was so excited about going out to play. Marshall, being the great daddy that he is, had set his alarm for 7:00 (he had to be at work by 9:00) so that he could get up and play with his kids in the snow. However, the alarm wasn't necessary and we were up long before it was set to go off! We bundled the kids up and out they went to play while the rest of our neighborhood slept.

I put on a coat and flip flops thinking I could take pictures from the porch, but my pj pants were way too thin and when my flip flopped feet sunk into the snow just on our porch I retreated back to the house. I did take a few pics from the upstairs window as I bundled up to head out and play.

Jack really wanted to make a snowman, but the snow was just too powdery and wouldn't stick, so they just walked around knocking snow off everything that was standing still.

We moved on to the front yard. I had to keep telling the kids to stop squealing so loudly because all of our neighbors either have no kids or grown children and probably wouldn't appreciate the early morning excitement coming from our yard.

Remember the view from yesterday? This is the same one. That dark spot in the middle is our dog running around like a wild thing!

I finally coaxed them inside. Sam woke up and we enjoyed a pancake breakfast, which we discovered that Sam absolutely LOVED!

We were finished with breakfast by 8:50 AM! I told you this was the EARLY installment!

Jack is our inquisitive firstborn. At five years old, he’s extremely interested in how things work and will ask a ton of questions until he gets a satisfactory answer. He's an active kid who enjoys running, jumping, and playing outside. However, give him a video game and he would sit and play all day if we let him. Lover of anything "Buzz" these days, he's definitely all boy. But don't let him fool you, he still has fun playing princesses with his sister! He is a great helper and loving big brother and his deep dimples melt our hearts every time he smiles.

Anna is our spunky three year old. She wants to do everything her big brother does, as long as she can do it while wearing a dress. She is Miss Independent most of the time, and certainly has her own sense of style these days. She loves being a helper around the house, and when she's in the mood, she's the best cleaner upper in the family! She enjoys reading books, singing, dancing, coloring, and playing dress up with her brothers. She will always be our baby girl, and has the biggest, sweetest blue eyes we’ve ever seen.

Sam is our stubborn number three. He's a stinker who manages get into EVERYTHING! It's hard to resist that wide smile and mischievous giggle, though, even when he's up to no good. He's a boy on the move and will do anything to keep up with his older siblings. He loves balls, trains, playing outside, and wearing everyone's shoes but his own. Some days he's still our snugly little boy, and that's quite alright with us because that boy with the toothy grin has brought an enormous amount of joy to our family!
