Snow Day

Last week when I was out shoveling snow I mentioned to our neighbor that I'd like it if it would just snow once, a good snow. The kind you can build a snowman with. Seems like all we've had this year is snow followed by rain which equals a nice big sheet of ice. You can't do anything with ice. We tried sledding on it once but all I kept seeing was my kids' lives flashing before my eyes as they sped down the hill straight for the trees. Today, however, my wish came true and we got six inches of the most perfect snow. Here's a a little video clip of the twins' first dip in the stuff.

Now I'm just tired. I think I shoveled three different times today. And just bundleing up six kids exhausted me. Plus I'm sick. And the kids have been home all week and I haven't had a single minute for myself. And Mark's going away again next week and just the thought makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. So I pretty much spent the rest of the day being good for nothing. But nevermind it all. A little sleep should fix things up quite nice.

That was a super cute video. I love reading you blog. Come to Utah and take our snow, we're sick of it. Alice

 

Um, sorry you're all worn out and stuff. At least you got really cute video footage of the kids in the snow... Have some chocolate. You'll feel better.

 

It is 78 degrees today. and very muggy. Be grateful for the snow. I really miss it! Justin is going out of town for a week in the morning and I am just dreading it. I am such a wimp! You do it all the time with 6 kids, certainly I can do it with 3!!!

 

Everyone looks warm and happy in that crunchy, squeaky snow! Caleb's rosy cheeks remind me of Denver's rosy cheeks when he was little. For the first time I thought they actually look alike...like brothers! You're amazing, as usual, to take videos of another great adventure.
