Snow Days

This sums it up. We were so excited the first day! Then, after the top layer of ice formed on the beautiful, powdery snow, it all went downhill. (pardon the pun) The roads are icy, so we can't leave the house, the streets are too slippery for little rubber boots to traverse, games have been played, pictures have been drawn, television shows have been exhausted....so we eat. We eat rice crispy treats, brownies, potato soup, shrimp tacos, homemade apple pie, and chocolate chip cookies. We eat like there is no tomorrow and we will never escape this winter prison. But as I type, the melting snow is dripping from the drain pipes, so maybe we will be free tomorrow? I certainly hope so! Or I am going to have to find some elastic-waistbanded pants.

This is when they loved each other....before the snow fell and they had to spend 4 uninterrupted days together. ;-)

Kids sledding on the street
Snow pizza
All smiles!






Attempted snow angel-the ice layer was too thick!

Sledding southern stye-on a trash can lid
Down our driveway!
