We did end up getting almost a foot of snow here in Parkville.
The kids were off school for 3 days (2 for the snowfall and 1 because of crazy cold temperatures - like -10 degrees without windchills).
We spent our time hanging out and catching up on some movies.
We also made some chocolate chip cookies (which were totally gone after 2.5 days)
The kids LOVE helping these days
We spent A LOT of time in the bounce house - and the kids got really creative on using it - like pretending to sleep in it. I got called in for the important duty of making sure the blanket totally covered their feet.
Colin and Brian spent a lot of time outside clearing the driveway and making ramps to sled over. I'm still not sure who was having more fun out there, I think Brian had a blast making their snow trails...
Maggie refused to go outside, and I don't really blame her, it was COLD!
This was after a few hours of snow, but we still had at least that much more coming the next 1/2 day.
The best pic I could get of my boys through our front door (where I was standing inside, staying warm)
Each day Colin would come in with super red cheeks - we started slapping on Vaseline, which helped immensely!
He opted to take off the face warmer so that he could eat some snow.
That kid!
Brian has gotten some good use out of the snow blower I got him for Christmas.
I think the meteorologists are calling for a pretty cold and snowy February, so we'd better keep it handy!
While the boys were outside, Maggie and I were perfecting the bounce house - jump and slide!
Please excuse the chocolate chip cookie face
She's started picking out her outfits lately... I think she might have a slightly crazy fashion sense!
The kids are back to school tomorrow and I am a few days behind on my comp exams...
But, we had some great days at home and we're ready to get back on schedule (just in time for the weekend!) :)
