Snow Days

I woke up yesterday morning around 7am and looked outside to find a dusting of snow on the ground.  I knew they were calling for a lot of snow, but at that point it looked as though I was off to work.  I showered and got ready and at 7:30am I was getting ready to go clean off my car. When I looked outside we had already gotten a good inch to inch and a half of snow in just 30 minutes!  I could hardly see the street out the window so at that point I called my work and decided to stay home.  

It was a great decision considering we probably got 1-2 inches of snow every hour for most of the day.  Most of the major highways were either closed or had cars stuck because the snow plows couldn't even get around and were getting stuck. The police were even told to return to their stations and only get out for emergencies because they were all getting stuck as well.  It was a crazy day and I was so happy to be home safe with my boys!  

We went out to shovel in the afternoon when there was a break in the snow.  We took Brennen out with us and gave him a bucket and a shovel.  He wasn't sure about putting all the snow gear on, but once he got out in the snow he had a blast!  He even threw a fit when we had to come inside.  

Snacking on some yummy snow!

I finally got him in while Ryan finished shoveling and we decided to make some hot chocolate for Daddy.  Brennen didn't like it at all, but I had to get a pic of him with his mini mug. Too adorable! 

Today I was supposed to get my wisdom teeth out, but they called and had to cancel my surgery because they weren't going to be able to make it into the office to see patients. I decided to stay home and spend another snow day with my boys! We headed over to Landon & Julia's house to sled and have lunch.

It looks like he's crying, but it was just so bright his eyes were watering

Action shot!

He had so much fun but was so wore out!

We shoveled the other half of the deck and here is where the silly dogs laid! I guess they don't mind the snow.

It looks like this snow isn't going away anytime soon.  The forecast is in the 20's for the next week and they are calling for a few more inches on Sunday night. I guess we will enjoy it for now and look forward to Spring!
