Snow Days

Yesterday I was looking at some of our pictures, and we have had a lot of snow this year!  We played in the snow at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The drift in our drive way that happened Christmas Eve lasted almost a month!

The last patch of it melted and we got snow again!  Then last weekend it iced and snowed that closed area schools for two days!  Our power was on and off for 3-4 days.  Thankfully it was on enough to keep us warm, and we helped it out a little.  We had the windows in our room covered with blankets, and put up a tent for the two big kids with a massively thick palat on the floor.  Then SweetTate slept with us.  Everyone was toasty warm!  We didn't even know the power went off in the middle of the night.  We found lots of entertainment...  (Warning: PJ days usually mean no fixing hair either, so there is a scary hair warning before viewing these pictures!)

Shutes and Laddars anyone?

SweetBoy played DJ for SweetDoll and SweetTate--too cute!

Finally, this week we got another snow that was wet and perfect for snowman making.  (And we had power, so we could come in and warm up!)  Unfortunatly, SweetDoll had a tummy bug and stayed home from school so she couldn't go out and play.  But according to the forcast, I think she might have her chance in a few days!  The boys and I got out and built snowpeople.  (Dad even helped a little!)

Snow angels. 

I can hear Mom and Mema now, "Zip that child's coat up!"  I know.  Sorry.  It didn't seem all that cold, but I had my coat zipped up.  :)

It was perfectly wet snow! It made huge balls in a hurry!

SweetBoy was bound and determined to get the biggest snowballs.  The second one, he started far away from the other and then when it was the size he needed, he still had a long way to roll it to the base and it grew with every roll!  By the time he got them together there was no lifting it on to the base.  So he came up with plan B...

This is what happens when your stomach is bigger than your eyes.  Or your eyes are bigger than your muscles.  Something like that!  So we have a cowgirl diva and a lazy laying down snowman.  (Does that sound like anyone else's house too.)  I won't even go there!  From the look of the maps, you may be having snow too. Have fun!
