Snow Day(s) February 2011

I will go back and post about Jackson's birthday party. Meanwhile, I had to get some pictures up from this week and weekend. This week was one to remember! Monday night, rain and then hail started. The streets quickly iced over. When I say ice, I mean ICE!! No school on Tuesday. The temperatures didn't get above freezing and no school on Wednesday. Thursday came, and no school again!! The roads were THAT bad! Then Thursday night, we were expected to have a light dusting of snow. School was called off on Friday because the temperatures were still below freezing. We woke up Friday morning and the forecast was wrong. We didn't get a light dusting!! We got 6 INCHES!! It kept snowing off and on most of the day on Friday too. The snow on Friday was powdery. So, no snowballs or snowmen. But, Lauren got to play in the snow!! This was the first time she got to go out in it. She kept saying, "I go walk." because she loved walking and kicking up the snow. The kids had a grand time playing in the snow with their friends!

The view to the right of us.

The view out our front door. Notice how you can not even see where our sidewalk is or where the step at the end of our sidewalk is?

Thomas worked from home on Wednesday and Friday. (He ventured on the roads the other days.) I asked him to take a picture of me with my kiddos.

Mommy and Lauren all bundled up!

I loved this picture! Lauren saw some of our neighbors walking down the street and started waving at them. She can be so friendly!

I tried to get one good picture of the kids together. This was the best that I got! They are so hard to get to pose for me! One of them does not cooperate every single time!

Mommy with the kids again.

Thomas couldn't stand it, so he bundled up and joined us.

Stay tuned for pictures from Saturday. We went to a hill to go sledding!!
