Snow...

Well Monday night at piano lessons, it started to get nasty. The girls did not want to leave as they were looking through song books. Daddy came and got Wil early to take him to footskills practice with a boys WC team. Do not know if he is going to try out or not, just wanted to see what it was all about!!

We stopped at the neighbors on the way home and kept checking the radar...no way we were going to have school, but still it hadn't been called off! The kids put their clothes on inside out and put an orange in the fridge and we had a "let's hope for a snow day party!" We went out sledding in the neighborhood from 9-10 and when we stopped at the neighbors the computer said NO SCHOOL, so of course that meant more fun outside in the snow until way late and then a sleep over!

The next day it was cold and nasty, the kids went out a few times and then we all went over to the big hill at Life C church. There was enough snow for some of the sleds.
Daddy tried out his snowboard for the first time. It was still a LOT of fun. Even if it was full out sleeting and freezing rain, our coats and hats were covered with a layer of ice by the time we left. Another big snow dinner with our neighbors and school was called this time at 8:30p.m. so the kids went out and built a snow fort.

Wednesday was perfect for sledding. Daddy and I were up early shoveling before he went to work. Then the kids and I tried out a new hill in the neighbor's backyard (he just had it cleared of trees last summer). It is FAST and has two good jumps. Mommy, of course, went first and ended up face first in the snow buried with enough snow packed into my eyeballs to freeze my retinas! Kate and Wil thought it was hillarious! That is how the day went, sledding, clothes in drier, eating, tv, sledding, clothes in drier, eating, sledding, clothes in drier...off to church to sled with Uncle D and Chutka and cousins! It was a perfect day for sledding! The kids went up and down dozens of times. Wil was the first to attempt the big kids jump, but pretty soon everyone had the hang of the jump! Wil rode on top of his sisters at least twice on the tube over the jump, no injuries. Caleb (our 2 year old cousin) was the big hit of the day. All he wanted to do was go down the hill, maybe it had something to do with the fact that someone else had to carry him back up!


We ended the evening with dinner at red robyn with family. What a perfect two snow days! Baths and three very tired kiddos asleep early! I love snow days!!
