Snow Days!

We had our first official snow day from school on Wednesday.  The kids were thrilled!  Colby began the day by sitting in front of the tv and watching ever so closely for GRANBY-CLOSED to scroll across the screen.  When he finally found those letters and read CLOSED he was jumping for joy.  And all this from a kid who LOVES school.  I think it is just the novelty of the situation that excites him, all day to play in the snow!  We had a fun day making mulling spices, doing some crafts, watching Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, and of course, sledding!
All three kids had a great time sledding, but Brayden got cold after a few times down the big hill.  He waddled over to me and said through his chattering teeth, "Mom, I am so cold, my feet are drowning!"  I took him in, took off the hat, gloves, neck warmer, snowpants, and finally boots.  I was shocked and had a bit of that bad mommy moment when I saw a ton of snow that had gotten down his snowpants and into his boots.  His ankles and calves were bright red, and his socks and feet were soaked!  We went right up for a nice warm tubby, and he was all set!
