Left out of the fun? Nope!

A couple of days ago, we had our first snow. In reality, it was more like a dusting...but it was certainly enough for the boys to get excited about! It was also a day that Colin had a half-day of school, so as soon as he got home, I spent what seemed like forever bundling them all up the boys geared up and dashed out the door!

It wasn't long before the little miss--who was sitting in our living room with me being cozy by the fire--spotted her brothers through the sliding glass door and began to inch her way over.

She climbed her way up the door...and just stared out at her brothers. 

Colin finally spotted her and came over.  He started talking to her and
playing with her through the glass....it was really cute to see!

Then all the boys joined in a game of "let's-throw-snowballs-at-Lola-through-the-door!"

 

They had fun *smashing* snow in her face....

And she, apparently, loved the feel of the icy cold door on her cheek....

...and her lips!!

After a little while, Ethan could stand the cold no longer. He came in and had some fun with 

Lola, putting her hands up on the door and playing with her. If there is one thing to know about 

Ethan, it is that he loves his little sister something awful!

Don't worry, my little one....you'll be out there before you know it!

*sniff*

Snow Day!

Oh, how I already love 'no school' days!

~Sleeping in till almost 9~

~Hot chocolate~

~Hot breakfasts~

~All of my children home and in PJ's until early afternoon~

~Playing out in the snow and capturing it on camera!~

**For the record, I did not enjoy the 30 minutes or so of bundling up the boys to play in said snow....but their fun made my out-of-breath-ness mostly worth it!**

~Rest time on the couch watching The Grinch that stole Christmas~

~Lots of Wii time~

~Picnic dinner of Tombstones, cause I was not feeling like a chef tonight~

~Hot showers and fleece pj's~

~and little boys who fall asleep quickly~

A little glimpse at our fun.....

All bundled up and somewhere VERY cold to go!

Col couldn't wait to jump out of the door

Fun on the swings

Sheer joy on their faces

Col was a great snow angel teacher....

....and Cam was a great student.

Ethan? Well, Ethan just looked ridiculously cute.
The whole time he was out there.

See?
He loved it, and all he wanted to do was throw himself down in the snow.
Over and over.

King of the 'Mountain'

Col was just having so much fun!

Oooh, a face first dive off of the slides. No tears though!
Because Cameron's tough.
He'll tell you himself.
A not-so-tough-but-tender moment: E took a spill.
Cameron came to the rescue.
Awww.
The boys moved to the front yard to 'sled' down our deck ramp....and, just so you know for future reference, three boys will fit on one disc.

But they may wreck at the bottom of the hill!

All in all, it was a great day....

.....and I'm thrilled to report that we get to do a snow day all over again tomorrow!!

Woot!
