We have had such crazy weather this winter. It started out as the most mild winter with no snow and tolerable cold, then in a matter of days, went to full blown blizzard. We had 10 snow days with no school and even Nate's work was cancelled as the entire area was under a level 3 snow advisory where no one was allowed to drive on the streets unless they had legal permission! Apparently if you were caught driving during those times you could get arrested! Funny. I was glad that I had bought these sleds for the kids this year as it gave them a way to blow off some energy and have some serious fun.
The snow gave us some rather spectacular sunsets and beautiful landscapes that I don't think the pictures quite do it justice, but they can at least give you an idea of the beauty surrounding us. I have to admit that I rather loved the idea of being stuck at home with my family with absolutely no where we had to go! I even liked the day we had to go without power from the snow (until I realized that our gas fire place that was supposed to work during power outages, didn't work!).
The kids often enjoy doing home crossfit workouts with me- another way we use their massive stockpiles of energy!
The first day we have had decent weather in months!! Grace and I got to enjoy some one-on-one time at the park while the kids were at school this week. The rain and snow had finally stopped and had even dried up enough for us to play.
You would think that summer is here with the girls in their swim suits coloring with side walk chalk, but it was only 60 degrees out. Most of my kids seem to have inherited Nate's love of colder temperatures, so I'm sure they will be playing outside during these spring-like conditions way more than they will when it gets hot this summer! We are so ready to say goodbye to this dreary winter and to welcome the spring!
