Our First Official Snow Day!!!

It was 08:30 when the official announcement came.
NO SCHOOL!!!! Overnight we had some crazy winds
(gusts around 50 mph) along with freezing rain and
snow that left our roads coated in ice. So what do
you do when school is closed due to snow? Head outside
for some snowy fun of course! We don't have the proper
sledding equipment, so we improvised and used cookie
sheets. It took a few tries before the kids got the hang of it.
They would push off from the top of the driveway and
coast out to the road. It turns out that school being closed
due to snow is much more fun than school being closed
due to hurricanes!

HOORAY FOR SNOW DAYS!!!!!



This really shows how much snow fell last night.


Thankfully, no one cracked their head on the driveway.

It's a good thing we live on a slow street because

the sleds worked best on the road. Ian happened

to win this race but I don't think Jenna really

minded. She was already heading back for another
round!

Our sleds made great shields too! Doesn't it

seem like I post a lot of pictures of Ian getting

ready to chuck a snowball at someone?

Ever since Jenna made her angels,

Ian has been dying for his chance to make one.

Finally, my angel got to make an angel.

Snow + 30 mph winds + the desert=mud.

We only had snow in the corners of the "yard" and

as you can see, the drifts had a very pretty

covering of dirt.
