The predictions that I mentioned on my last post were a little off! We got 8-10 last week, and were predicted to get another 4-7. Well we got 13! So we are snowed in with 20+ inches of snow! We tried to keep up with the shoveling while it was coming down in order to not be too overwhelmed, but that is a lot of snow! Now today our temps are below freezing with wind chills in the -40's! It's brutal! We are staying in and trying to stay warm!
Here are a few pictures of the neighborhood when Ron ventured out yesterday! We aren't in the country, so we have been spared some of the drifting! I can only imagine how big those drifts are.
You can't hardly tell, but Ron is standing in front of one of the piles we have shoveled. It is HUGE!
We tried some Snow Ice Cream, it was pretty good! A first for us!
Snow days are suppose to be FUN, well these have been a little different! The kids were suppose to go back to school on Monday, but have been off both yesterday and today. The not fun part is that they have all 4 been sick. Nathaniel actually started a week ago, so he's doing good now, but he decided to share his germs with his siblings - love it when they finally decide to share!
They are sharing strep and taking turns laying on the couch! Not so fun, but were trying to make the most of the days home together, despite not feeling the greatest! Ron and I were talking this morning how their personalities come out when they are sick. We have 4 very different kids when it comes to being sick - happy, grumpy, "normal" and weepy (in random order)- it all makes me a little crazy!
Hope you are staying warm and taking opportunities to make memories together!
