Snow Day 2011

Last Thursday morning we woke up to snow on the ground!  Connor and I were very excited to go outside and enjoy the beautiful snow that Austin rarely receives.  While we were waiting for the sun to come up (mornings start early around here) we made some "snow themed" breakfast.  I had seen a blog a few months back where a mom had lots of fun treats for her kids during their snow day. So on Wednesday we picked up a few things from the store to make our own treats.  I knew Connor would love it and it would give us something fun to do while being stuck inside. 
Connor and I quickly put on our warmest clothes and headed outside.  We didn't have a ton of snow, but it was just enough for us!
Connor loved making foot prints with his Thomas boots.
And of course the snow didn't keep him from finding sticks.
Later that afternoon we made some Snowball Cookies.  They weren't as good as I thought they would be, but still were a fun thing to make on our snow day.  I also learned that 2 year old + Powdered Sugar= HUGE mess! :) 
Later that night we were getting a little stir crazy so headed over to Mimi's house to get out and burn some energy.  It was the perfect way to end our snow day!
