Day 175 (2/1): Snow Pics

Here's some of the pics that I took with the hill that is back behind the neighbors yard.  The kiddos slide down and then into the drainage ditch for what they call extra points.

I'm guessing the thumbs up means that was a good ride!

 And of course, what would a snow day be without eating a little snow?  I sure hope it wasn't yellow!

The snow angel was made by all the kids.

And then my favorite picture of all was the crying as he was coming inside.  Look through the door - it was dark.  He had been outside sledding pretty much all day long and was frozen to the bone. Oh yeah and he was cranky.  Note to self: Do not let Colton go sledding all day.   It does not end in a happy fashion.

Day 174 (1/31): Snowed In

We were stuck at home again today for a snow day. Darn it, I'm only going to get 2 days of work in this week.  I'm so upset I might have a tear forming in my eye.....it is really so sad!  No..not really..

I have tons of blogs to catch up on so we'll see what I can get done. We can't go outside today because it is so cold (high of 5 degrees or something unbearable with a windchill of -25 degrees).  There is absolutely nothing to do but grade or play on the computer and I'm choosing the latter.

This is our 6th snow day - I've lost count there has been so many - and on a couple of them we went sledding.  So here's the video of us sledding at the country club.  It was so much fun.  I will post pictures of us tomorrow.

We convinced Ted to try to snow board and well..um...he does not have very good balance.   The kids made a ramp in the snow and they got some great "air" flying off of that ramp.
