We had an actual, official blizzard of the season. It starting snowing on Saturday and continued well into Sunday. The wind blew strongly then making blizzard conditions and then to top it all off, the temperature dropped to single digits on Monday. With the wind chill factor there were moments it felt like -25 degrees. The kids were giddy with the sticky snow, building forts and snowmen and sledding until they were numb.
Here's Jason spending his Snow Day off from school and Ian enjoying his extra time with Daddy. (Unfortunately I missed the photo op that had Ian "snowblowing". If you can imagine it, he was walking in that space in front of Jason between the handlebars.
I, for one, was enjoying my excuse to be inside to take care of the baby. Unfortunately that doesn't get me out of any extra housework that occurs when you have 6 people out in the snow bringing in wet apparel, not to mention the extra cups of hot chocolate. I am proud to say, though, that I made some homemade chicken noodle soup (from freshly made stock) and some muffins made from scratch to help warm up their bodies. My house might have been a mess, but we enjoyed the extra day together playing games, eating and just plain vegging out.
