we woke up to over a foot of snow a couple days ago. sure enough the radio man confirmed the school closure and we all geared up for a fun day of playing in the snow.
we started with a little snowball fight.....
.....the chickens kept getting stuck, so we shoveled out a little path for them
we called our friends and went down to the local park for some sledding. ....
we came home and made a snow day skillet cookie, which we ate snuggled on the couch together under a blanket......
.......then had pizza for dinner, watched a movie together and fell into bed tired and smiling
day 2...no more snow but now freezing rain and ice. power outages all over the gorge. school still closed. the snow is no longer soft and fluffy but hard and crunchy....not fun for playing. so we invited friends over and played board games all day.
day 3...still frozen. no school again. yesterday was a fort day. the kids spent the day happily constructing a fort...they even got to sleep in it!
day 4...today is saturday and of course no school. we are still frozen, but it is starting to melt...though slowly. the kids had their first ice skating (or icebooting) adventure in the yard which is essentially a frozen sheet.
we have big ambitions to ski tomorrow....we'll see if the roads are even open....keep your fingers crossed cause we are getting a little cabin fever at this point. this have been a snow day for the books!
happy snow day(s)!!!
