Snow Day!

We got about a foot of snow (first big snowfall since 1993), which meant no school on Thursday or Friday.  Thundersnow is awesome! The girls ate regular snow, mixed snow with food coloring, and we made our first snow ice cream!  It was vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, and sprinkles.  This was probably Olive's favorite thing about the snow.  She had two bowls. 
 

Even though it was blowing snow, Hannah couldn't wait to get outside.  Both girls started putting on their snow gear by themselves.
 

Once we were outside Olive just wanted to be carried.  I did convince her to get down once to play on the porch.  Notice the snow is almost up to the seats of our chairs.

Hannah is a snow bunny and loved every second of it.
 

 

 

After naps I had the idea to open up the garage door so that Olive could play in the snow without walking in it.  She liked that better.  Although she still got mad when Hannah went out and played in it.  She thinks they both need to be doing the same thing and since she wanted to be inside, Hannah should, too.  There was a lot of, "Hannah, NO!  Hannah, IN!"

The drift by our front door was up to Hannah's waist in this picture.  By the end of the day it was up to my waist.
