Snow Day

Last Friday we got a mini snow storm. All the schools in the area were closed, and so was Ryan's office! Which meant we got to have a fun snow day with Daddy! Here's how things went down:

Cameron was excited to see all the snow out the window when she woke up...and she was even more excited that Daddy was home.

In honor of the snow day, we made a special pancake breakfast. Cameron helped with the mixing and was pretty stoked that we made her a Mickey Mouse pancake.

Sydney crashed while we were making breakfast. All this snow day business was making her tired!

After breakfast we watched Monsters vs. Aliens, a cute animated movie that had showed up from Netflix the night before. About 3/4 of the way though the movie, Cameron decided to throw her cup on the floor, which lead to a 15 minute Mommy vs. Cameron "battle of the wills". We literally went back and forth to time out about 10 times before she decided she would pick up the cup and take it to Daddy in the kitchen.

Once the movie was over it was time to bundle up and hit the snow. Cameron and Ryan made an awesome little snowman! Sydney and I mostly provided moral support.

Then it was back inside for lunch and naps. Playing in the snow is a lot of work! After her nap, Cameron made a b-line for the iPad (she is seriously addicted to the thing, ugh!) and put on a movie. Yes, she knows how to work it all by herself, we've created a monster!. (Mac, notice the Basset shirt!)

Fortunately, we were able to lure her away from the iPad with the idea of a dance party, which turned out to be pretty darn awesome!

And that pretty much covers the highlights of our day. It really was a fun family day. :)
