A Winter Wonderland

I think our Winter Wonderland is finally over. Over the past 4 days we have gotten an ice storm, 3-4 inches snow along with cold days not getting above freezing. When you add it all together it gives you 4 days of no school for the kids.

The kids really enjoyed going sledding in the neighborhood. It was one of their only opportunities to get out and burn some energy. We have a few good hills in our neighborhood to go down. Fortunately Uncle Brett bought us some sleds last weekend before all of the bad weather hit. Who knew that we would get to use them so soon.

Along with going sledding, Zach also enjoyed playing football, baseball and basketball in the bad weather. Mom never thought she would have to play basketball in the snow:) While Zach was playing sports Katie enjoyed making snow angels, throwing snow balls, and building a snowman once the snow started to compact. She also liked finding her snow treats - Icicles. I think these were her favorite. They tasted good and were cool to watch shatter on the ground.
