Snow Day!

Well the big, scary blizzard came and went yesterday and our house is still standing. It was actually kind of a disappointment, really. Not that I wanted to be without power or anything, but the way it was hyped up on the news made it seem we were in for some sort of excitement. They even preemptively closed UB, which has never happened before. So we had all of Wednesday with our dental student! What to do on a day when everything is closed? I guess play in the snow!
Once we were all bundled up it didn't even feel like 9 degrees. Honestly, it was pretty nice out. No wind makes a big difference. Some snow angels were made, but no snowmen :( It was just too light and fluffy to pack into balls.






 We did, however, eat lots of snow....



And cruise down a "hill" on a garbage can lid!

 Collin loved it so much, we thought we'd give it a try too....
Before:


 Nope, not happening.


Now no one can say, I'm not adventurous! :)

 Then after naps, we headed to Chuckie Cheese (yes, THEY were still open!) to party with our friends.




I have to say, I don't mind {snow days} one bit!

What FUN! But it looks REALLY cold! I have been dying the last couple of days because our temps have been in the 30 and 40's. BURR!
Collin is such a cutie. Love his little red face from the snow.

I have not left the house in 3 days because it has been so cold. Windy cold if that helps describe the dreary bitterness that hell has dropped on us. Can't believe you guys played in lucie's thoughtful gift to earth:)You don't even look prego with your snow clothes on. And that chuckie cheese picture is actually a really good one of you guys! You look pretty! Go hang it up in your house

Not a bad snow day after all! Oh my that is one ugly face I'm making in the background. :) Ha ha! We had a lot of fun with you guys. I love the sledding on garbage can lids! Very innovative :)
