Fun in the Sun in the Snow

The snow just hasn't got a chance as soon as the sun comes out. The kids were thrilled to spend another afternoon sledding down our side yard. And I was thrilled to let them. Halloween is just a few hours away and we can't wait!!!

Two Snow Days in a Row!!

The snow started Tuesday evening and won't stop until just past midnight tonight. Judging by our deck furniture we got at least 2 feet. It's been great. Snowstorms are fun when you are prepared AND when you don't have to leave your house. We were good on both counts. The kids had two snow days in a row--a dream within a dream!--and tomorrow morning they get one last parting gift from the storm, a snow delay. I love snow delays because we all get an extra hour in the morning.

Luke....I am your grill.

A Hot Cereal Morning

Yesterday's winter-like snow storm gave us a morning just like this:

As soon as the sun really started to shine on our little back yard, Tommy was out messing about in it. Here you see him dumping handfuls of snow into this blue bucket the kids left out days ago. I told him he couldn't come in until he'd cleared the whole yard of snow. (If you don't put your foot down it's just shirk, shirk, shirk with these kids nowadays.)
