Well, the snow actually wasn't very deep...I guess it's more like we were cold fronted in these past few days. The snow and school time off was of course exciting, but really the temperatures kept us inside most of the time and our favorite activity, sledding, wasn't great anyway. We took it a little slower, got extra friend time, I continued to teach my ESL classes and added a few on since we were home, and I even got to go spend some giftcards at the outlets once the roads were clear. We are gearing up for a "normal" week ahead with our first full week of school in awhile, sports practices and games, work, and early rising. Tomorrow morning will probably be a bear for some folks...not me, of course, thanks to my new early rising lifestyle. :) Here are some pics from the snow, all of the girls b/c boys went their separate ways with neighborhood friends:
"Looka my glubs!"
She insisted on walking almost the whole block to our friends' house, until the cold got the better of her. She was laughing at the leaves blowing in the wind and just chattering away.
Sister sledding. Allie made no comment but when asked if she was ready to get out, vehemently shook her head no.
Julia thought the sledding was fantastic...but she tends to live on the cautious side when it comes to things like sledding... or in the old days, riding bikes with training wheels on a flat sidewalk. :)
Matt hooked up sledding Allie to his weight lifting belt and pulled her around a bit. Thanks to hand-me-downs from a friend, she had actual snow pants and snow boots! (the first of our kids to get so decked out for winter!)
