Snow Days!

We spent the last week trapped at home due to ice and snow. School was closed for a record 4 days! The boys played in the ice on Tuesday with Scott and quickly realized it was not the fluffy "fun" snow they remembered from last year. We pretty much spent Wednesday and Thursday inside and had to think of everything under the sun to keep busy! We played hot wheels car wash in the bathtub where the boys "detailed" cars for a few hours, we painted, we colored, we read, we watched movies, we played dress up and just when they couldn't take it anymore Mike and Nicole came over and we made s'mores in the fireplace. Friday we got six inches of snow - the good kind!! The boys played outside ALL DAY! We would just rotate clothes and back out they would go! Our neighbors have two boys and so does the family behind us so they had snow ball fights, made a snow man, made snow ice cream and took a snow hike up to the school. BUSY FUN DAY! It was a crazy week but a great week. I am blessed to have a job where I can work from home in cases like this so I spent most of the early mornings and evenings curled up with the laptop working by the fire - not too shabby!
