A Snow Day!

So we've had some weather around here this week, you may have heard about it on the news... Schools were closed all week and we had all kinds of ice and snow. It was nice for the one day that I was off and could stay at home. I'm not a fan of driving in this weather, especially with Jake in the car. I have to tell you guys a funny story about grocery shopping. Ever done that in the snow? I don't recommend it. Picture this... me pushing a shopping cart through the parking lot that hasn't been plowed. Oh yeah! I'm a huge dork for not thinking of that small detail BEFORE I bought the cart full of groceries. It was Jake and I dragging the cart through the snow. We kept building up the snow in front of the buggy until it would tip over, AWESOME! Well Jake was a great helper trying with all his might to pull along side of me. That is until I lost him in the parking lot. He decided to lay down and make snow angels. I was quite sternly informed that he was not in the street he was in the snow SEE?!!! Well eventually we made it to the car and home again. These are the little details you don't think about when your from Southern California! We did have such a fun day though. Jake and I went out and had a snowball fight, made snow angels, and he ate ice off of the trees. We came back inside to drink hot cocoa and made some wonderful beef stew. Jake can not wait for another snow day... I can. Jake making snow balls, he felt really funny throwing them at me!
Snow angels were fun but by the time he rolled off of them it look more like a snow monster.

Jake made the ice off the branches be his own personal icecyles. Which meant he ate a lot of tree

It was so pretty everywhere. I took a lot of pictures like this. I loved how the ice looked on the trees.

We ended the day tired and snuggled with hot cocoa.
