Snow Day with Daddy

I sent Darrin a text when he was almost home that said "Miles and I are ready to have some snow day fun with you, games and playing outside. Please drink some caffeine before you get home."


I've learned that a little advance notice goes a long way. I knew he would be tired from a long weekend, but it was one of those 'sorry not sorry' texts. I was sympathetic b/c I knew he would probably be tired, but I also knew Miles needed him to push through and enjoy the snow with him.


About 10 minutes after he walked in the door, we were getting ready to go outside. That's a good daddy for you. He handled it like a champ.


I'm not sure how long we stayed outside, but I would guess a little over an hour. We had so much fun. It was so nice to be able to sled down the hill and then get pulled up by the 4-wheeler.


Carson liked sledding down the hill with me, but I think getting pulled behind the 4-wheeler was his favorite.


Miles had fun sledding.


Selfies with my boys when my camera would work.


It got so cold every day that the touch screen quite working. I found after I came back inside that it still took pictures...you just didn't know what you were getting until you looked through them on the computer.


After playing in the snow, we had junk food for dinner b/c that's the proper thing to do when you are snowed in. The boys and I ate good snacks all weekend, so it was only fair that Darrin got to have some too. Buffalo chicken dip and smores for the win.


We got more snow last night. I'm not sure how much more, but I think it was 2-4". That is so much snow for our area. My office closed at 3pm, but instead of coming home to play in the snow, I had to be a responsible adult and go to Walmart. We had a few prescriptions to pick up and we were down to one roll of toilet paper. #priorities. It's currently 5 degrees outside with a wind chill of -7. The high tomorrow is 21. I'm already strategizing how warmly I can possible dress for work. In true Tennessee fashion, the temperature is supposed to get up to almost 60 this weekend. This snowy week has truly been one that our family will never forget, but I'm ok if the snow melts this weekend. It's been great, but I'm officially freezing.
