Snow Day Activities

Beautiful sunny, cold, windy afternoon

Boys playing

"Snow Baby"

Our tracks down the driveway to the mailbox....Tom's got some plowing to do :)

Keeping watch

Icicles

In between the "snow sessions" we have some blue sky and sunshine...

This is looking out my kitchen window....at these beautiful icicles

Caught it dripping ;)



A few hours later it isn't dripping anymore...and has grown with a curve.

So even with no school...we are having a bit of a science lesson ;)

SNOW DAY

We watched the list run by a few times on the news...and Troy wasn't on it....so we kept on getting ready like normal....and then the call came from our bus driver 15 min before the bus usually comes...and he said there was No School today....so it was official....no school.

Getting some t.v. time in ;)

 Some relaxing T.V. time is fine...but we also have to keep up with the shoveling!  Thank goodness there is no school cause my main shovel helper is around.  Thanks Kolby ;)

 

"Mom, I can't get up"  is what I heard from the other side of the patio.



Cool treats...in the summer you have to eat them fast...but wintertime...they last a bit longer ;)

Birds

After all that snow...our bird feeder was like a little airport for all the house finches

Snow day

Tuesday the 15th we got a call at 6:40 from our bus driver telling us that there was no school ...well since the kids catch the bus at 7...there was no sleeping in...they were already for the day :)  There was no school mind you not because of the 4 inches of snow we got overnight but because of a power outage.  So the kids had a fun day all the new snow!

Why shovel the patio when you can shovel the yard??

Even Smokey likes eating snow ;)
