A little snow and sun makes everything better!

Another weekend with illness.......it seems the girls just continue swapping the coughs, colds, and runny noses. Yuck. Mike was up north with a friend this weekend so it was just us girls at home. Because they were sick, we didn't have any plans and did lots of painting, made playdough, and played outside in the beautiful 6 inches we received. Emma went next door to join the big kids in an outdoor snow scavenger hunt. She came home when she realized she had no chance of keeping up w/ the big kids again, especially wearing all her snow gear. Abby was pulled in the sled and had such fun walking up and down the driveway. She just LOVES to be outside. Then I loaded them up in the sled and brought the ergo for extra measure to walk on the snow covered trails around the neighborhood. After going through 100 tissues, I decided it was time to call it a day and head back home. They did NOT want to go inside. The promise of hot chocolate and reading our new library books enticed them. Then we all crashed for some much needed naps. Thank God for such a beautiful, crisp, snowy day- we all needed it this weekend.
