Let It Snow!?!?

Due to the snow I reported in my last post, and the 6-8 inches we received after that, my two boys (think energetic as most boys are) have not had school all week.  We are still holding out hope for Friday (tomorrow).  Big deal you say, just bundle them up and send them out to build snow men, snow forts, sled ride, snow board, and any other winter activity you can do in a hilly yard.  And we have done that.

 

This is the tunnel leading from the driveway to the backyard.  With all the snow that was shoveled so we could move the cars, the boys couldn't get to the yard to play.

Mikey has become very adept at snowboarding.  His favorite run is actually down the hill that is our front yard.

Once they had all the wet and cold they could stand, they moved to quieter endeavors in the house.

 
 

Mikey chose to read by the fire.

 

Matt spread out his favorite blanket to warm up on. 

We have shoveled the driveway multiple times, as well as carving  a path across the deck and around the yard for Jedi (who stands about 12 inches high from the ground to top of her head).

 

Mike and I are both at the tail end of nasty colds and not too excited about being out in this white stuff. But we both will admit it is pretty and oh so unusual.  I mean really, how often do you get 20+ inches of snow for a week at a time.

 

 

While it is beautiful and amazing,  after a week with no school, no church, no other activities, we are ready for a break in the weather. We need to get back to our somewhat regular routines.

By the way, during the process of writing, downloading photos, and editing this post, we got the news that school is canceled tomorrow too!  Okay, maybe we will go out and color the snow some other color than yellow, right Jedi?
