Snow Day! Snow Day!

Have any of you ever seen the Starbucks commercial that played this past holiday season. It was some big city that had no snow, so everyone was making paper snowflake kites and flying them in the sky. The song that played with the commercial would sing "snow day, snow day". For some reason Lincoln LOVED this song. He would go around singing "snow day, snow day". Even now, 2 months later he still sings this. So when we woke up Saturday morning and saw this....








the words "snow day, snow day" popped right into my head. And we sang them all day.


It was indeed a winter wonderland. What kind of parents were we if we didn't take our boys out to play. They were begging, and Thiago couldn't let them down. So they bundled up and out they went.


Their plan was to build a snow fort. This was Thiago's favorite thing to do when he was little. I think he was more excited about it then the boys. Well, probably not...but still.


Mapping out their idea..


One very good helper.



And then this one. Didn't really help much. However, he had his own fun.


Brev came over to join the fun.



They worked, and worked and worked. Poor Thiago was a little stiff this morning from all of his kneeling and bending and digging.


As for me and this little dude.....we hung out in our nice, cozy, warm home.


While Drake napped, I snuck out to snap a few pictures and then came back inside to enjoy my nice quiet house while I organized some pictures I just got developed.


Unfortunately, about 45 minutes into their playing....this one got sent back inside. He lost his privledges out there. Wouldn't stay out of the road and kept trying to take off his snow clothes. Back inside he came.


These three though, they stayed out til the job was complete.


One totally awesome snow fort...perfect for launching snowballs. Made for 2 very happy little boys and one exhausted dad. Good job honey.

It was a lovely snow day.
