Winter. Not my favorite season but we make the most of it here in Kansas. I do love the snow, though. I love it when it snows, we don’t have school and we can have a snow day. Well, today was one of those days (almost). I had to go to the gym but that is kind of a snow day for me b/c the kids go to the activities center until I am done running and lifting and that in itself is bliss for me sometimes:)! Then we came back for our snow day until the kids begged me to head outside to play in it. I am okay with playing in the snow and I am all for building a snowman when it’s above freezing out but when it’s 5 degrees outside I am not a fan! SO we went sledding instead. Okay, the kids went sledding and I pulled them (another workout for me today!). I let them go on their own (image below) until my little gal decided it was best mom hold the rope and run them around. Then my little guy made snow angels with his mittens as we were running around and that is when we had to go in. I told them to keep all hands and feet inside the sled (but they didn’t listen).

It was a fun few min out in the snow! We stayed out until we couldn’t feel our noses and then went back in for some hot chocolate and marshmallows. I LOVE SNOW DAYS! Enjoy the images….

For those of you who ask “what is in my bag” this was shot with my 85mm/1.2 – wide open (which is how I shoot most of the time).
