Sunday Snow Day

We have had some relatively nice weather the past week so it was a bit of a surprise when we woke up the morining to a beautiful blanket of snow. The flakes were some of the largest that I have seen. Around here people cancel things pretty quickly when the snow flies so it wasn't a big surprise when we got the call that church was cancelled. We decided to make the best of it and enjoy the day outside. The kids loved playing at the snow at Grandma and Grandpa Johns's house last week so they were eager to get out and enjoy it some more. Silly me - I had already put all the winter gear away for the year - thinking there wasn't much chance we would get any more - so I had to dig through the shed to find the box again. Once we had all our gear on we got right to work making snowmen and snow angels. The kids played for hours and Katie treated us to yummy cinnamon rolls afterwards.

With the Federal government choosing to not go to work on Monday, and a couple of days off from working an alternate work schedule, I decided to take the kids out to visit Farmor and Farfar. They had received a bunch of snow in the last week and I wanted to give the kids a chance to play in it since we haven't had much to speak of here. So off we went and we were not dissapointed. The snow was great and the sled hills were fantastic. The kids only came in because it got dark. I built a snow fort around the trampoline that they loved playing in as well and pretending to be groundhogs. We also made a small slide off the fort that they enjoyed. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy the snow and have fun with grandma and grandpa in the process. Dad and I got to spend some time together at the movies as well. We enjoyed Night at the museum, which was pretty funny and Ghost Rider, which was ok but a little over the top. All in all I call this a great weekend!
