Snow Days

We have had quite the Winter.  We have gotten a good deal of snow, and our fair share of below freezing temperatures.  Jeremy got a chance to break out his new Christmas shovel.  He is among the few who enjoy bundling up and shoveling.  I captured the picture above when I was putting laundry away one snowy day.  It is the quintessential snow picture!  As annoying as the snow can get, I do love it!

We enjoyed a rarity this Winter too....snow rollers.  I never knew they existed until this Winter.  We were lucky enough to have a backyard full of them, so of course, I had to get a picture of my kid's holding one.  Who knows, it could be another 38 years before we see them again!

 

So cool! 

 We have also gotten some days off school due to Winter weather. So far, we have used 4 calamity days!  The majority of them have been for dangerously low temperatures....like -35 degree weather, with wind chill. Yikes!

Total whiteout!

The kid's enjoyed a sibling sleepover in Kenzie's room two nights in a row.  I had breakfast waiting outside the door that morning and they stayed in until after 9 a.m....which means, Mommy got to sleep in!  Win-Win!

 

But don't worry, school teacher Mom came up with some at-home activities to keep them occupied.  No learning was lost here!

 

We also enjoyed some family sledding on the big hill down the street.

 

Weeeeee!

Okay Winter, we have had our fun with you, can you please bring back Spring?
