snow days...

I started this post back in January.  It is funny to think that it is mid February and my kids haven't celebrated the 100th day of school yet.  Well, maybe not funny but ironic at least...

We, like everyone else, have had a lot more snow and therefore snow days than last year.  The kids are loving it!  Me, notsomuch.  I'm over it.  I'm over the cold and the shoveling.  But the snow does make for some great pictures of the kids...

Sister hates to be cold and go outside in the snow.  But this day we decided it was an all family work day and everyone had to go outside to shovel the snow.  So she spent a long time in our garage (pay no attention to the mess and trash behind her).  You can tell by the Spider-Man boots, Lightening McQueen hat and blue winter coat that she has older brothers.  Grace worked up the courage to walk out of the garage and into the snow after about a half hour.  She actually starting smiling and seemed to like walking in the snow.

We are, of course, expecting another storm this week.  It is predicted to be the biggest storm of this season, which has the boys excited because last week's ice storm was no fun.  We lost power for 36 hours and it was too cold to go outside to play.  My friends and I have decided that a June with no kids (because they are all still in school) is our reward for a winter of snow days...
