I think the best part of being "snowed in", which doesn't happen much around here, is that we find time to enjoy the simple things in life that we normally don't slow down long enough to enjoy. Oh the fun that we have had in this winter wonderland...and these are a few of our favorite things moments!
...Snowflakes that really did stay on our noses and eyelashes!...
...sharing a first bowl of snow with a friend...
...Daddy getting to come home early from work to be a kid himself... (PS: This snow angel was made during naptime...so it was not to entertain a baby, but rather OURSELVES!)
Pulling out every warm piece of clothing we own and modge-podging "snowsuits" just so we can play outside! (like my garden "gloves"?... NOT so warm...:) )
... walking through the fields and taking in God latest masterpiece (isn't He the most amazing ARTIST???), with Gavin... and playing fetch!
...Just sitting in the driveway watching Joey pull Braxton down the road behind the four wheeler, on his belly...no joke! Shaelyn Jade thought it was so funny....
...watching Briley sled down hills so fast...and crash over and over again... til her face looked like this, and she covered her head in band-aids! I asked her if she slept with a cat in her pillow! :) She is one tough cookie!
Laying in the floor, watching one of my favorite movies, Sound of Music, and watching the boys climb all over Rich... he has the patience of Job! :)
... Dancing in the kitchen with Aunt Courtney...
...Playing bumper cars with Bear...
...being one of the big kids (Shaelyn Jade loved the nonstop-kids-in-her-face...really!) ...and getting to spend time with our friend, Cate Calmus (and her fam)!
...and after all this fun, the best part was that we just put on our PJs and spent the night..not one but TWO nights!!! We loved our weekend, pretending we were helplessly snowed in at Joey and Courtney's house! What treasured memories we have made...
