Snow Days

Like everybody else in North Texas, we enjoyed the great snow and ice storms of 2015 this week. I had been wondering if we would ever get any wintry mix this winter and it finally happened. We are pretty much home bound every day for the next several weeks with Jensen, so a snow day here honestly isn't that different from any other day, with the exception of getting to see Eva bundled up for some frosty fun.

The first round of ice actually hit on the day I had originally been scheduled for my c-section. Glad I wasn't out trying to have a baby in that weather! I'm sure how our families would have even gotten to come see us or get Eva. God bless all of the hospital workers who had to continue to drive and serve others during the winter weather. 

 As cute as it would have been to get photos of Jensen outside on his first snow day I decided that his little premature lungs probably did not need to be exposed to freezing cold air. A healthy baby is better than a good photo any day. So instead he did what you are supposed to do on any cold day - sleep! This little guy is a great sleeper and we are soooooo thankful for that!

 

On the ice day I let Ryan do the outdoor stuff while I stayed warm with Jensen but on the snow day I actually bundled up and ventured out for some fun. Honestly by the time we made it outside it was no longer snowing and the stuff on the ground was already turning to slush but we still had a good time.

We made the world's tiniest snowman with the little bit we could scrounge up. Then we made a snow Olaf, a snow Anna, a snow Else, and a snow Hans.  

I took this photo hoping that you would be able to see the snow out the windows but it didn't quite work out. Oh, well. Jensen, here you are on a snow day. There. Now I'm a good mom. 

Big sister keeping the little one warm with all of her kisses. She LOVES to hold and kiss him. 

And finally - a block city! This has nothing to do with snow at all. I was just impressed at how long she spent building with blocks. She is not one to do anything by herself for a long time but she really just sat and built this "city" for about 30 minutes while I was nursing Jensen.
