Both Tuesday and Wednesday were snow days here (today is delayed 2 hours, so far). The boys have been home. The neat thing is that both days Ron and I had meetings and classes that were also canceled. So we found ourselves home for 2 days with no reason to venture out. It was great and very out of the ordinary (Usually Ron and/or I have meetings 4 out of 5 nights). So we enjoyed the time. Tuesday we watched the snow come. We played domino's. The boys all 3 played lots of cars and Maddie enjoyed having extra company.
Yesterday the snow was still coming a little, but the boys needed to get out in it. We figure total we got around 9 inches. I know the boys have never seen that much and I can't remember when I have. It was windy too. Ron decided to take all 3 out with him while he shoveled.
The above picture not long after they got out. Ron had to make them get away from the house to play so that he could shovel - I think that the house was blocking some of the wind!
Eli lasted only about 10 minutes before his hands were freezing (he wouldn't leave his gloves on) and he was ready for "warm chocolate" (cause Hot Chocolate is just too Hot).
Nathaniel was about 15 minutes behind him. He wanted to warm up and then go back out, but by the time you take all the layers off, it's really not worth putting them all back on - at least not in my opinion.
But Ronnie,... he lasted. He kept trying to make a sled path. Sled paths and flat ground are a little difficult, but as you can see below, he waited until Daddy was done shoveling and then got some expert help!
Oh and just in case you were wondering. Maddie had fun just looking cute inside where it was warm!
