I woke up this morning around 5:20. I was supposed to go to the gym, but I checked the news on my phone and saw that UT, the schools, the city and the state government had closed and there had been many accidents from the snow and ice. I decided it wasn't such a good idea to go to the gym or into work so I went back to sleep for a while.
Shortly after I got up and started working downstairs, Evan got up. I could hear him get up so I came out of the office. His eyes were huge as he saw the snow on the ground. He was really excited. He wanted to go outside but we told him we had to wait until Noah got up. We let Lizzy out and Evan leaned out and touched the snow. When we first opened the back door to let Lizzy out, she was running out and put the brakes on when she saw snow outside. She seemed hesitant, but then ran out and had a blast in the snow.
I worked some until Noah got up. When he got up, he was cranky, but I showed him the snow and he got excited to go outside. We got bundled up to go out and everyone, including Lizzy went out. Evan had a great time. I don't think he would have ever come back in. Noah didn't enjoy it as much but he seemed to enjoy a lot of it. Rachel built a very miniature snow man because the snow was powder and didn't stick together.
Shortly after we came back in the boys had lunch.
Rachel put Noah in his room after lunch, but Noah didn't nap.
For dinner, we went to Red Lobster. We had never taken the boys there and actually, Rachel and I have never gone there together. In fact, it's been well over 10 years since I went there. But both boys like shrimp and crab so we thought it might be a good place to take them. It was. They ate really well there. Evan also liked seeing the live lobsters at the front of the restaurant.
We came home and gave the boys baths. They are now in bed.
Until next time...
