snow!


We had a real blizzard this week! 30 mph wind and 11 inches of snow. We got great giant drifts all over our yard. Everyone had a snow day. Reed has really enjoyed the snow. He asks to go out and cries when we don't take him outside with us. He likes to walk around while we shovel snow or sit and throw little snow balls.

Maddie hollowed out a drift to make herself a snow cave. She also buried herself in snow.


We shoveled out trails through the drifts so we can walk around the yard.
Everyone loved playing in the snow. Benjamin and I shoveled the driveway for 2 hrs each. Benjamin liked getting some exercise and skipping work. The kids made sled routes out of the drifts, and are planning on turning some of the larger piles of snow into snow caves once they freeze overnight. If we succeed we will post the results.

Your drifts are huge! How awesome they are making snow caves.Lucy loves to go out as well, although usually she just wants to put on her gloves and hat.
