Snow Day!

We got up this morning and found out that schools were closed. Snow Day! First we had waffles and eggs before getting all decked out in our snow gear. We tried making a snowman but the snow wouldn't pack after sitting overnight. We could still make snowballs, especially with bare hands. If you don't remember how that feels, it's really really cold till it burns. Kenzie was the first to come in because her gloves came off and she couldn't keep them on. Josh sat on the chair in our backyard that was full of snow and called it his snow throne. We threw snowballs for awhile. I hit josh in the face twice and he got me right in the shoulder/chin once pretty good. It wasn't good sledding because the snow was melting and the road was really wet. Joanna encouraged us to go outside one more time as this would be, baring another miracle, the last snow of the year. We tried to make a snowman and found that since the snow was starting to melt it was sticking well. There was so much snow that it really made it easy to make a snowman. We keep making them until we had our whole family of snow people. Then we came in, had lunch, and played with the wooden trains. The sky has been beautiful all day and there were only tiny flurries for a few minutes in the morning. I heard that it's possible we'll get a little bit more snow tonight. I had heard that New York got around 10 feet of snow recently. I can't even imagine what kinds of problems that might cause. Could you even go out and enjoy it???? Well, we made it through yet another snow day this winter and still have had no incidents with yellow snow. Thank goodness.
