Oh, the excitement!! Eliza was bouncing up and down. I was thrilled that I was able to locate snow gear for the three of us; with the exception of my gloves. My dearly beloved, who spent last night in a tent camping with the Scouts, kindly borrowed mine.All was well when I located his winter mechanic gloves in a tool box. Disregarding any thought of grease, I placed them on our couch while I suited up the kids. At this moment, I'm crossing my fingers that the oxy-clean will work its magic on that unpleasing spot his gloves generously left.
And we're off!
The snow wasn't ideal for making snowmen, so Eliza suggested we play, 'Follow the Leader'
When that got old, we busted out the beach toys (hence the title of today's post, cleverly thought of by Andrew).
Despite the inability to form snow angels or create snowmen, Eliza was satisfied with the experience.
Proof that their kind Mother orchestrated this winter experience for her dear children.
We missed our Daddy and are eager to hear how his night of camping with the Scouts went. When the weather forecast predicted a snow/sleet/ice storm, talk of canceling their campout abounded. Andrew would hear none of it.I'll be honest, I hate being alone at night. I'm pretty good company and all, but I scare myself silly. At 4:00 a.m. this morning, I was certain that I heard the garage door open. I assumed it was Andrew coming home early from the camp out. After several minutes of waiting, his continued absence alarmed me.
I finally convinced myself to 'check things out' - which I bravely did. All was in deed calm as the ending of this story is mundane. I imagined the noise. That's better than an alternative ending involving an intruder, right?
The activity concluded with this mess (which I'm so looking forward to cleaning up).
As well as a cup of hot chocolate.Had this storm fallen on a week day, Andrew would have had a day off from work. Seeing as it's the weekend, both stake conference and a wedding reception were canceled as a result of this storm.

Your husband had a camp out in this weather? Poor man!
I am in the same boat as you with the weather. We also went from 60 to snow. What part of the south are you in? My Kam couldn't even get into work yesterday...so fun. We have been enjoying playing out in the snow also, I just hope it doesn't stick around for too long:)
Ha! Give me a few minutes and I'll have our 'playing in the snow' post up, too! And our ward's Scouts were camping this weekend, too, but luckily my husband wasn't involved...
Once again, your kids are adorable.
I love Henry's hat! Where did you find it? Jayce's hat from children's place doesn't fit him well!
Way to go on your yeast rolls! Did you see Julie and Julia and feel inspired? Your kids are darling.I miss them.
The snow just missed us. I was so bummed and almost called to see if we could invade your house so the kids could have a chance to play in it.
That's surprising that the scouts didn't come home early with the snow since everything seems to close around there when it snows. Maybe there was no convincing your husband once he was out there? Cute pictures. I like the follow the leader idea. I can't wait til I have 2 that can play together...
