Snow!


Our family loves snow. We woke up to a thin blanket of snow and frozen rain around 5:00 this morning. By 6:00 my youngest child came in and asked if she could go wake up her brothers. I let her and by 6:15 my children were dressed and out the door for some slushy fun. It's more messy than anything now, but it makes for a cozy day.


In a bit, we'll be off to have lunch with neighbors, sit by the fire, and watch the kids play Wii.


I do love snow!!!

Isn't it fun? I grew up in a fairly temperate climate, too, and snow was such a big event! I don't think we ever made it out by 0615 though...

And you can take them to visit clumsy and Ames next winter, in Alberta....bring your wool!

We got about 3" and then it turned to freezing rain by mid morning. Surprisingly enough, it never melted the snow! Very strange. Mike says the roads are clear this morning (Friday).
I never got out of my PJ's all day yesterday. It was so fun! I stayed in and warm and cozy. I got a lot done, too. I made 10 meals for the freezer and a batch of oatmeal cookies that I bagged up into sandwich bags with 2 each in it.
Today, I feel like I could conquer the world! That just made me feel SO organized.

PS....you guys just need to shipped the kiddos over to ol' Marmi's sometime when you know it's gonna snow. They'd have a blast!

Marsha,
Be careful what you ask for! I'm in need of a Mommy Vacation. Heck, I need a vacation from ME!!

Oh, the idea of my kids snowed at your place is a good one, but only for a few days.

I can send meals and hot chocolate...

I'll send mine on up too and they can just have a big old snow party!
