Snow Day!

Yesterday Austin had his first snow day of the year... Although it is a little more stressful when he's around it's fun to hang out with him and watch him interact with Kezzie. I am finding that with such an age difference it is really hard to entertain both of them at the same time without Austin getting bored or Kezzie just getting in the way. Hopefully in another year Kezzie will be able to join in and 'help' in game play and other things that Austin enjoys. Austin always gets excited when he has a day off. I'm not sure why since he still has the same rules as any other week day (limited TV, no video games, etc.), but he really enjoys being home. He spent most of the morning outside building a fort until he got a bunch of snow down his boot. Once he came in he spent his time reading and making a card for his dad. Later in the day he called a friend who lives a couple blocks away and he walked up to our house (why didn't we think of this earlier in the day!?). They spent the better part of the afternoon playing outside together until they got too cold and came in until it was time for his friend to go home. I love thinking about the memories that are being made for him as he gets older! He's such a great kid!
