So Clint woke up at 6am today and came in the bedroom a little before 7 to let me know there was 3-4" of snow outside to our surprise and everyone else's. He asked if it was alright if he took the Subaru since the roads were probably bad. I said sure, since I wouldn't be leaving the house today because of the snow. I guess no one was expecting the snow, it took him 2.5 hours to get to downtown Denver, which normally takes 20-45 min depending on traffic. I think only flurries were in the forecast, so none of the roads had been plowed.
I would really liked to have taken Gavin outside to play in the snow and build a snowman. We haven't had a chance to play in the snow yet this year, the last time it snowed it was -15 during the day, so we stayed in. But we didn't venture out today either because Gavin has a cold. He's been coughing all day and his nose is running. Some of the snow melted, but there is still quite a bit out there, so we will see how long it last and maybe we can play later this week. Knowing the weather here though it will probably be 60° tomorrow.
So instead of playing in the snow, we stayed inside, played, read stories, watched movies and drank hot tea. What do you do when it snows?

It has yet to actually snow here this year, but Monday morning it was flurrying pretty good and dusting the ground. I woke up all the kids so they could see it as it might be their ONLY snow this year. Owen was so excited! He wanted to go out and play in it. I tried to discourage him since it really wasn't enough to play in, but finally I agreed. He walked right out the door in pjs and bare feet... he wandered around the yard watching the snow fall until his feet began to freeze and he returned screaming "it's ice, it's ice!". He had to warm his feet by the fire which is a must after playing in the snow. When it REALLY snows our tradition is to have cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate to warm up. Emeline also has to save a snowball in a Ziploc bag. She did that on Monday. Her snowball was about the size of a marble.
