Snow Day(s)!!!!

Yesterday, the downpour began and it is still coming down as we speak. Unfortunately, the wind has kicked up a bit so now the snow is going sideways. I'm thinking we might be in for one heck of a winter considering this big of storm hit us BEFORE November!!

I felt horrible yesterday when I remembered that I hadn't outfitted the twins in winter gear for this year yet. Hunter was standing at the sliding glass door whining and on the verge of crying because he couldn't go outside in the snow. So... dear 'ol Daddy ventured on over to Target to get all that they needed: snowboots, Hunter's snowpants, hats, and mittens. We thought Reagan's snowsuit from last year would still work. Oh, it worked all right but she was sporting her pants a little short:-) We had so much fun in the snow! We didn't make it outside until after 5pm so we didn't get to hang out for long. Ryan even built a sledding hill in the backyard and Hunter and Reagan thought sledding down it was about as fun as it gets!

I'm not sure if you've ever read those emails titled "Wyoming" or "Colorado" but they talk about the first snowstorm of the year and how everyone is all excited and building snowmen and loving the fact that they live there, yada yada. Then on down further it starts talking about how sick of the snow they are and they're ready to move. I'm just preparing you for what may be ahead in a future blog posting of mine:-)

"Let's go see why the heck we look like the boy on 'A Christmas Story'!"


Don't worry, it wasn't yellow snow he was eating:-)
I am still trying to figure out why I can never make a normal face in any picture!


Reagan loved the snowballs




The camera died before we could get one of Reagan on the sled:-(

Oh how much fun! Carter is 6 and I don't think he knows what a sled is.
