Snow days = cute knit hats and flip flops

We have been a little busy lately taking a few interesting day trips (to be blogged about later), and we have been hit with some fun wintertime weather. Thankfully, no ice, only just a bit of snow. The first round was early last week and looked a little like this: Ok, so you can't see much snow, but how cute is that freckled beauty?

One of my favorite things about dressing boys is picking out knit hats for the winter. Thankfully, Nathan loves to wear hats and will try to wear them inside, sometimes even wanting to wear them to bed at night. This has been one of our favorites. I purchased it before Christmas from here and this is what it looks like in action: Not to be left out, here is Lexi and Avery enjoying a game of "chase"

Today, we got a few more inches of snow and Nathan was determined to make his first snowball. After finally agreeing to keeping his mittens on, he put together enough snow in his hands to qualify! We have had fun on these snow days playing outside, watching movies, and drinking hot chocolate, but I am hoping for an early spring. However, I'm not quite as ready for warm weather as Avery, who, upon seeing the snow this morning, got dressed in shorts, a tank top and flip flops and counted the days until spring on her Taylor Swift calendar. Slow down, sweet girl....it will be 100+ degrees before you know it!
