Using Pinterest for Inspiration can be done in so many different ways and is only limited by our own  creativity…

I chose today’s inpiration purely for the color combo, not at all to try to mimic the outfit…

Mine was inspired on how to wear my purple boots  for our rare snow day! 

Hard to believe that the following Inspiration turned into this…. No real fashion for today as my job was keeping the fire going , making hot chocolate and helping to dress and adjust…

I might have to do this color combo justice and do it another time…

And now onto our Snow Day…

Connor pointing out the snow as it began… he was so excited he kept dressing and undressing going in and out all night , sometimes with his sibling other times all by himself until after 1 am. when I called it quits.

About midnight… That’s my favotite tree to pose with….

At 1 am coming down hard and three of my kids were out having fun…You can’t make it out but this is my daughter, Ashley, 22…

Nicholas, 18 with Connor, 13 waiting his turn…

Icicle swor fighting…

Brothers…

Snow Angel….

Dear Readers, We had a great Tuesday night and fun Snow Day on Wednesday!  Since we got snow in January the kids have high hopes that there could be another snow fall in February, as when we do get snow it’s traditionally in Feb.  I had a lot of fun watching my boys playing,but gotta say it really pulled at my heart strings. These boys have been so close, calling each other twons who were born at different times (4 1/2 years apart).  I know the loss for my youngest will be huge as Nicholas ventures off to college next year.   Can’t help tearing up thinking of this…

Gratitude

I am grateful for the unexpected January snow and the joy it brings my children!

( Note, no school again Thursday, as the cold temps all day and single digits overnight (crazy lows for our area!)  and lack of snow plows in our region means messy roads.)

I am grateful that my boys have been such great friends and really love each other.

I am grateful  for a toasty fire and hot chocolate!

I am grateful for Pizza Delivery and S’mores in the fireplace, at least for the kids, I refrained as I want to lose the holiday weight…..

I am grateful for a second Snow Day to look forward to.
