snowpocalypse 2011

We knew last night that today would clearly be a snow day. It's been kind of long and hard to stay indoors and not go anywhere. We filled our day the best we could...

We sent the kids outside to play for a little while. The sleet/ice that fell last night was firm enough that you could stand on it. Andy could have ice skated down our street. The boys were able to slide on the sleds in our yard.

Even Liam got to go outside today. We found a pair of snowpants that were a little big, but worked out for us. He had fun being pulled on the sled by Andy.

There is a little bit of a slope in our yard and our neighbor's yard that the boys were able to slide down.


The cats, for once, did not try to run outside when the sliding door was open.



Had some Bey Blade competitions. Definitely a boy thing.

Taught tactial skills to the boys with nerf guns. You're never too young to start learning how to handle weapons :-)

Marcus under fire.

A good dad shows no mercy against his children-even in nerf wars.


We played a little Uno and another game and that was our day. The weather outside got icky again this afternoon. It has started to sleet/ice again with the promise (?) of snow overnight. School has already been cancelled again for tomorrow and this will tack on 2 more days to the end of the school year. (We have already used the 1 flex day they built into the schedule.) Here's to hoping that we keep our power. Oh, and that the weather breaks before we need milk. We have 2 gallons left, which is a lot for some people, but we go through almost a gallon a day. Stay warm everyone!
