Yesterday morning my kids woke up at 6:30 and stared at their school’s website, praying for a snow day. And it paid off. By about 6:45 the school put up the announcement that school was called off for the day due to snowy weather. There were a lot of cheers. I heard them from my bed. So we spent the day baking bagels, learning to make traditional danish buns (from a Danish friend), going to the park with the sleds, playing in the snowy garden and then going out sledding for a second time on the grounds of a local castle. By the end of the day the kids were red cheeked, happy and in need of a mug of hot chocolate.
Not a bad backdrop to admire while your kids throw themselves down a snowy hill.
Chrysanthemum didn’t appreciate the snow so much. She has delicate feet.

wow, what a view! sledding looks like fun, still have to give that a try. 🙂 and chickens?? awesome. never really imagined them walking around the snow. hehe how many do you keep? do they keep laying eggs even during the cold? I imagine them a bit shivery. hmm
Yes we have three chickens at the moment. And they each lay a different coloured egg (white, blue, red). They’re not too impressed with this freezing weather and snow and the egg production is quite low at the moment. I can’t blame them though. Poor things are sleeping outside in -20 degree weather! Have a great (warm) weekend Kat!
blue eggs! how cool is that. 🙂 have a warm one too. I’m attempting bread today.
Oh my !
your kids have had a snow day and mine has not! something is wrong here…
