It started snowing last weekend and it kept snowing until last night. We had A LOT of snow and it was a crazy week.
Let’s recap the highlights.
1. We had no school on Monday for the holiday and then no school the rest of the week due to snow – awesome. This puts us in school until about June 22nd this year – not so awesome.
2. We drank a lot of hot chocolate. How can you not with a week like this, there is that unwritten rule about playing in the snow and then coming in for hot chocolate.
3. The kids played in the snow more times than I can count. By the end they were both professionals at putting on their snow gear. Ivy could do the pants, coat, hat, socks and boots by herself and only needed help with her mittens and scarf. Owen only needed help tucking his gloves in his coat. This was all so joyous as you will recall they played in the snow more times than I can count.
4. Other than to go to boot camp on Monday and Wednesday night, I did not leave this house one other time from Monday until Friday night. There was no question we were going to dinner tonight.
5. I was reminded that I love when it snows for a week and then immediately warms up and starts to melt.
6. We are in need of all the snow to melt so that we can hopefully locate a missing spray bottle and a winter glove.
7. Spray bottles with water and food coloring make for a WONDERFUL snow activity, even if they need constant refills and new colors.
8. I realized that I love to be able to go places when I want to and that homeschooling my children is not something I could ever do.
9. Steve is the fastest snowman builder I have ever met. He went outside for 3 minutes and instantly had a snowman. One minute there was no snowman, I turned to talk to Angie and the next minute there was a snowman.
10. It is impossible to keep a clean house with a baby, two snow kids and the worst snow storm in years.
11. As it continues to warm up and rain this weekend, it will be only a memory by Monday, but it was fun while it lasted!

And this has nothing to do with the snow, but I like it (and I don’t have any snow pictures of her).

Yeah for snow fun. Glad that Steve picked up some talent growing up in the midwest!
You got all of our snow this year. We have had rain, rain, and more rain. We also have had unseasonably warm temperatures. I can't say that I miss driving in the stuff - but it sure has been an unusual winter. Love the pictures of the kids! LOL!
Hugs,
Cathy
