Last night we went to bed thinking the kids were on a 2 hour delay at school, there were about 2 inches of snow on the ground. This morning that delay had turned into the entire day off, with probably about four inches on the ground. My kids started at approximately 7:30, asking when they could go out and play in the snow. By 8:15 Harrison had three piles in the living room, of snow pants/coats/hats/mittens and all of the necessities, waiting for the whistle to blow so they could hurry to be the first kid in the snow! I was mean and made them wait until about 9am. By the time I gave in and dressed Millie to take her out, the twins we coming in as I was going out.
Harrison, being the amazing kid that he is, was across the street shoveling his Nana's driveway, her neighbor, Margaret's driveway and was all ready to help Mr Martinez with his, but he came out to do his own and ended up helping Harrison with Margaret's. But still, how many 7 year old boys set out on a mission to help others when the snow is white and calling their names! Unfortunately I did not get any pictures, good grief, what kind of a scrapbooker am I!
Millie had fun playing in the snow while I shoveled our driveway. I know 4 inches isn't a lot and yes, it would have all melted by tomorrow I am sure, but our driveway doesn't get much sun this time of year, and when the rest of the neighborhood has thawed, ours will still be solid ice, so I shoveled!
After coming inside and everyone getting dry clothes on, I decided to take the kids to McDonald's to play before they drove me nuts, being cooped up inside. My mom went along with us for a change of scenery.
Enjoy the pictures!

Nana let Millie walk around with her ice cream while Mommy get a refill. It was so much fun and sticky, right down to the shoe lace!
Can you find the monkey's in the maze? They were all hiding from the camera except Millie, you can see her little head
