Snow Day

We had around five inches of snow at our house. When Little Bug got home from the nanny, she immediately ran to put on a princess nightgown. I told her she could either put on her princess nightgown and stay inside or we could bundle up and go play in the snow. Her jaw hit the floor and she looked at me and yelled "Playinthesnow!".

So I bundled her up with tons of layers and put her rain boots on. She kept grabbing toys that she "needed" to take in the snow. I got her to put most of them away, except for her bag of Easter eggs. She looked at me with her serious face and said, "I have to play with eggs in the snow".

We let her out on our deck first to clomp around and she got a kick out of scooping up snow with her Easter eggs. Then we took her out front and to the side of our house where a ton of snow was piled up. I scooped up a snow ball and said, "I'm going to peg you buggy" and I nailed her with a snow ball. She looked at me with a mixture of shock and got a sly little smile since she realized that she could now hit me too with snow balls. She kept yelling, "I'm going to peg you mommy!" and scooped up snow with her little mittens and alternatively smashed snow into my jeans.

Little bug also kept scooping up snow and eating it. She said to me, "oh wow mommy, this snow is good" like she was a little snow consosiour.

She and daddy made a snowman, and when we walked around the neighborhood to slide down the hill (she wasn't too sure of sledding) she kept saying, "snow man...where are you..." and then she told daddy and I that the snowman left.

Once we were back at our house, I made her hot chocolate and she grabbed it in her little hands and said, "this is my favorite!".
