Snow Days

After a full day off school due to anticipation of snow, we finally received the promised snow yesterday late afternoon and into the evening. It meant another snow day today, but at least there was about an inch of snow for the boys to play in! Brennan was really excited; he had been praying for snow for days. He even mentioned today that he was going to keep praying for it to snow and God would make it snow for him.

They really wanted to make a snowman, but alas, it just wasn't the right kind of snow for a snowman. So snow angels sufficed. As did shoveling it all around the yard. Brennan discovered the snow shovel and shoveled off our entire deck. I think I need to harness his enthusiasm for shoveling while he's young! 

On a side note, I took advantage of our "waiting for snow" day to bake. I made The Pioneer Woman's Strawberry Oatmeal Bars. Let me just say...yum. Especially warm from the oven. Delicious.
