Unexpected Snow Day

It was suppose to be a day at Galaxyland, a big reward for excellent potty training all week for Owen and Brandon. When they woke at 6:30 am all they could talk about was when they needed to get their boots and jackets on to go to Galaxyland. We opened the front door and boom there was snow, snow and more snow. The sidewalk, driveway and streets were full of snow and it was still snowing. Dad shoveled the driveway and then drove to Aunty Claudette’s to shovel her driveway (a surprise) but on the way to Aunty’s Dad got stuck and so Aunty had to help Dad get unstuck. So much for the surprise!

Dad got home and broke the news, there would be no Galaxyland today…we’d have to plan it for another day. To help improve the spirits we bundled the boys up and went outside. They helped Dad shovel, this was probably the 3rd or 4th shovel of the day, for a few minutes and then wanted to go inside.

As you can tell Owen looks pretty impressed; Brandon on the other hand was much more into the helping.

Heading inside, I asked them for one quick picture together…this was as close as they would get to each other!

After nap time, Dad had an idea, what if we had a movie night, complete with pj’s and popcorn. Owen and Brandon were very excited and immediately picked the bowls they would use for their popcorn.

We watched Toy Story 3, all sitting together on the couch in our pj’s with a bowl of popcorn in each lap.
