Winter Bliss

The Southeast United States is in total shut-down from all of the snow and ice! I am so thankful we southerners have no clue what to do when snowflakes hit the ground, except for scurry to the grocery stores to buy milk and bread. We got 7 inches of snowfall at our home, which means Daddy can't drive to work, which means his girls are super ecstatic!!!!
Mark is like a big kid when it comes to snow. He is our little winter storm meteorologist. We were determined to get Sarah out in the snow - no matter what it took. So after 4 layers and 30 minutes, we finally had her ready to face the cold. We wrapped her legs with a layer of plastic wrap, 2 pairs of Daddy's long socks, and a plastic cooking bag with tape wrapped around it in 2 places.
Of course since Sissy had her legs bagged and taped, Hannah "insisted" on doing the same! For Hannah's feet we just used quart sized Ziploc baggies.

There they are - all 3 kids - ready to brave the snowy cold!!!
Hannah was so bundled up, she could barely move!

Couldn't even leave paci behind today. I am sure it was frozen by the time we went back inside after an hour of playing.
Whoo - the snow tastes good!

Snow-angels are always fun!
Whoa!! Down the hill we go!

Big kids can have fun too, especially in the snow!!!



Another makeshift sled!

It's snow-cone time!!! Yummy grape syrup snow-cones!

Everything is just beautiful covered in this pure white goodness! I better get my girls fed, so we can start bundling up - again for another day of the cold white stuff!!!! Hope you and your family are having fun in this winter bliss!!!
