MORE SNOW!




WOW! We got a lot of snow these last couple of days. This morning when the boys woke up they were so excited to look out the window at the snow covered road. They were begging to play in the snow yesterday but unfortunately it was sleeting most of the day so I didn't think it was a good idea, however, i promised them they would get to go out and play today when Daddy got home from work. In the morning I stepped off the back porch with a tape measure to measure the snow. Just off the back porch there was 8 inches - (I can't imagine what it would have been if we wouldn't have had all the ice yesterday to pack down what had already accumulated. I then measure the boys legs...8 inches was up to the middle of Ike's thighs and at Ty's Knees. I could only imagine how hard it would be for them to try and walk in the snow. I got Ty bundled up first and as soon as Zach pulled in the driveway Ty went running outside. He was diving face first. He went up in his play set and crawled through the tunnel and then went down his slide which was completely snow covered. He loved it! I then got Ike and I bundled and we all headed out. While Zach shoveled the walkways i pulled the boys in their sled and then Zach got out his 4wheeler, we all hopped on and went for a ride around town - it seemed like everyone was out on their 4wheelers. We took the boys over to the cemetery and they went sledding. Their was a perfect hill for them. Zach try to sled down first to show Ty and Ike but there was so much snow that he didn't really go anywhere - he just smashed it down. We all had a wonderful time!

SNOW DAY!

Finally we had a little snow acumulation! The boys were so excited to get out and play! We ran to walmart and got Ty some boots and a sled. The boys really enjoyed me pulling them in their sled and letting the slide down the little hill in our front yard.


Cutting Firewood

The boys were excited to go "cut" firewood with Daddy! They each brought their chainsaw and had a lot of fun. Ty's only comment was that next year Santa was going to have to bring him a chainsaw that REALLY CUTS!
