A REAL Snow Day!!

We haven't had a snow in YEARS!!

It has dusted before, but it was promtly gone by 11am, so this snowfall was so great!! And in all honesty, it really wasn't snow, just sleet and ice, but hey, we'll take it!

Snowball fight with the neighbors is about to happen!

"Mommy, I look like a boy. Can I wear this flower headband too?"

A slide with ice is waaaaayyyy better

first ever snowman!!

Our Big Snow Day

So, (since I am now busting up a blog feed!) we had a HUGE snow in Nashville this year. I mean- blizzard worthy. We had at least two inches at 8 am which was promptly completely gone by 11am. (and two inches is a lot, ya'll). Plus, it gave us a chance to use our snowsuits. That's the problem with buying snow thing down here. We either have very snowy winters, or it doesn't snow half an inch.

This is also the first time really that they have ever actually gone out and "played" in the snow as kids rather than babies. *sniff* So, leave it to me to dress them appropriately.

They might have had on: three pairs of socks, two pairs of pants, three long sleeve shirts, jacket, snow suit, and babylegs on their arms and legs. Overkill, much? We played outside with our neighbors, which was much fun. Can I just say how much I love our new subdivision  I have been meaning to post before/after pictures of our house that we gutted. I really plan on doing that soon.

Check out how tiny his head looks with his 500 layers. And check our dusting of snow that I put 500 layers on him for. 

Hanging with the neighbors!!

We're ready to go out Mama!!

Shes so precious. 

Jules, sweetie, not sure how many snow angels you will make. 

This one was earlier in the day - it melted so fast!

They got the hang of it. I swear, then turned 15 in a day. 

Steppin Out Saturday- Birthday Party

We have had a pretty fun/low key weekend over here at Baby Stribs. Friday was a no-joke snow day here in Middle TN. Even though there was .00000002 inches of snow on the ground, all the schools were closed - crazy no? All you people up north probably make fun of us, but we seriously freak when snow hits. Kroger was jam packed with people picking up emergency bread and milk. (because you know, it was an emergency snow storm). The babes got out to play in what was left of it on Friday, though!

We got to play with our tricycles though. The gloves didn't last long, because they coudln't figure out how how to grab.

Little Buddy

She is like, "Honestly Mom, this is snow??" (you can see the light dusting - seriously, they closed schools)

Just for funsies - let's add some snow.

Balloon - not snowball

Saturday Jake and I stepped out to a friend's 40th birthday party at the Tin Roof 2 in Cool Springs (when did we become old enough to attend 40th birthday parties - yikes!)

There were tons of people there and it was a super funzo night! Jakes Mom and Dad came up to keep the babes so we could get out for a bit.

This girl is super happy to use her dust buster. I think I may just buy her a real one. She could help out alot.
