Snow Day Rituals!!!

Posted by Vulnadia on Feb 04, 2011 at 05:54 PM It's too funny, my trio have already figured out the family snow-day rituals! They ask for it all in order & by name, too! They now expect their Daddy to be home at least part of their day to play with them and take part, you see, he has his own snow-day duties as well! Everyone knows that in the deep dark depths of the pantry are the snow-day marshmallows, graham crackers & secret stash of chololate bars just waiting to become S'mores! The kids know that all meals will come from the fireplace, too and that marshmallows are an every-meal food! My kids know that every meal can & most likely will contain some form of hotdog, too, and on snowdays this is acceptable!!! We spend our afternoon outside in the snow, making snowmen and fairies in the snow, snow ball fights & snow castles too!!! Everyone knocks the snow off of their clothes mittens and coats before coming inside, knowing that I have everything laid out to change into waiting on them in the laundry room. They spend their recovery warm-up time before the living room fire while Daddy makes them each their own mug of hot chocolate filled with tiny marshmallows with the correct colored straw to coordinate with each of the babies! The rest of the afternoon is spent watching netflix specials and everyone taking turns choosing their shows. Today, Bregon even took Buddy upstairs to watch Star Wars on the ceiling using his projector! Our day is winding down, but it's been a peaceful, beautiful fun filled day for everyone, relaxing in it's own way.
