1-31, Snowy Day

I'm not sure how many posts I'll have entitled "Snowy Day" while we live in Colorado, but I'm sure that title is going to become redundant.  The post titles usually correspond to how I organize my photo files, so "Snowy Day" again it is.  We saw this storm coming-- 2 back to back within 24 hours.  I prepared Nikolas not to get his hopes up for a day off of school.  He was mildly disappointed there was only a 'snow delay', but it's more than he's gotten for most of the winter so he took it in stride.  There's just something about a snowy day-- a change in mood-- I love it.  There's a little more excitement, a little more contentment, a little change in routine.  Yesterday was one of those days.  The kids woke up in great moods and I was able to capture some nice moments between the two of them.  (Notice neither are wearing a Broncos or Seahawks jersey-- Steelers all the way in the Krauss Haus-- what did I tell you?!)  In addition to the photos, I got a couple of 'cute' videos.  I always laugh when the 'boys' come in and say "I didn't know you were taking pictures (or videos) of us!"  Yep-- never let down your guard when I'm around.....or even when I'm not.  LOL......

"Mama-- what are they doing?"  Us girls inside watching the boys work outside. 

Our neighbor offered to give Nikolas a ride closer to the bus stop.  They decided to get a little more plowing done while they waited.  Nik's already to go with backpack on and all. (How cute is that?!)

Daddy's off to work.  Nik's off to school.  Just me and mommy again!
