Southern California Snow Day

So, to Lu's disappointment, snow didn't fall last night. But all the leaves on the huge tree in our backyard did...and it was a beautiful sight. I told Lu that the leaves were kinda like snow, but even better because since they aren't cold and wet we didn't have to wear jackets or boots. She dove right in and even made a few "leaf angels". We attempted a "leaf-man" but it didn't quite work out :) The twins enjoyed the "snow" too. Penn got right in there and tried eating it, while Tripp did the usual "ahhh, get this off my hands" like he does with most new textures (sand, icing, paint, etc.). But he soon saw how much fun his sisters were having and dugg in.
Since it's so expensive to travel as a family of 5, we won't be making our annual trip back East...so it'll be awhile till we see snow. But it's really fun to see how imaginations can turn the ordinary into the extrordinary...

And, yes, we are a pajama-friendly family. When I'm at home with all my kids, we don't get out very much. Why get all fussied up when you can stay cozy and warm all day? And if you're wondering, yes, we brush our teeth and hair...eventually...

Don't forget about the two giveaways that close today!

  2. You know what, those of us who have to go out and *sigh* wear real clothes totally appreciate the staying home in pajamas movement when it can happen! Go for it!

    That's so funny how one of the twins loves to jump right in while another one is more timid. Babies can be so cute about how they interact with things :-)
