Adorable Brown Snowman

MarkflippingCold The snow was very light and fluffy this morning when we went sledding.  As the kids flew down the hills, a bunch of snow would fly over them and the kids would be covered in white.

After one trip down, Mark completely lost control. He was fine, even giggling over the ride.  But after, he stood still a few seconds, giving me a chance to take one of my favorite pictures of the day.

Morning of Laughter

It snowed last night and we decided to go to the park to go sledding for a little while.  We knew it was very cold so we dressed warm and planned to stay for a short while. Judging by the laughter and all the different ways the kids went down the hills, I think it was the best morning of sledding we have had in a long time.

Snow Day

kidsThere was just enough snow to go sledding today! We spent the morning sledding and roaming the park. Then we spent the afternoon working on school work. What a great first day back to school!

Ice Storm

The weather has been very mild this week. On Christmas Day, we were outside in long sleeve t-shirts.  Some of us were outside without shoes.

Today, we had an ice storm.  The weather alternated between rain and ice, but mostly dreary and chilly. I still enjoyed walking around, admiring the way the ice hung on everything.
