Snow Days

We got a nice, little winter snow storm yesterday.  It started in the morning and continued late into the night.  Schools were cancelled yesterday and are cancelled again today.  Missouri weather has been so weird.  I was expecting a lot more like yesterday.  These are our first 2 snow days.  Everyone tells me this is unusal.  There's normally more snow and a lot more ice.  The kids had fun at least.  We took Gracie for a walk in the morning and found a good hill and friends to sled with.  Jaelyn had an amazing wipeout that cracked her sled, but thankfully nothing else.  I think we'll buy heavier sleds next time.

We went out again in the afternoon when we'd gotten a few inches to make snow angels and have a snowball fight.

Allie's getting ready to get someone.  Better watch out!

Jaelyn gave me this hat for Christmas last year.  It's too small for me, but it fits her perfectly.

We've figured out quickly that snow and Gracie don't mix well.  She LOVES the snow, don't get me wrong, but that's a problem because when you take her out to potty, all she wants to do is run and play.  The first snow we had wasn't a problem with her hair, but this time it was wetter and deeper.  She comes in everytime covered with mini-snowballs all over her feet, legs, chin and chest.  It's a good thing she likes the blowdryer.
