Snow Day!

Unless you have been living in a cave, I am sure you have heard about the “historic snowstorm that paralyzed the Mid-Atlantic” and we have been in the midst of it! I believe we got about 3 feet of snow! Only about a foot of our 4 foot fence is showing. Jason has been outside for 2 days now with the snow blower digging us and the neighbors out. The kids and I were out with him, but we were just having fun playing!


We were able to venture out today, what a MESS!!!! There were cars plowed in all over the sides of the roads and ditches.... It was CRAZY! A lot of the roads were single lanes which is not fun when you are going UP and DOWN hills! We were shocked to find a big dodge diesel stuck....

We made it to the high school to sled and I am so glad we did! I have not laughed so hard in forever! We all had a blast! It has been YEARS since I went sledding! The last time I really remember sledding was at my high schools hill and I was in elementary school! It was so much fun!

I had to force Madison down the hill the first time, but once she went she was hooked! Anthony LOVED it! He ventured over to a hill that had a ramp built in and went flying into the air! I cringed as I just knew it was a BAD idea.... He rolled and landed face first and was not too happy! Once I knew he was okay, I laughed so hard I almost fell down the hill!

Madison would venture out into untouched areas and get stuck, so I was always on a rescue mission! We had so much fun and I think I may take the kids again tomorrow!



His poor chapped cheeks!


When do they grow out of that cheesey grin where they show all of their teeth!? :)




The crazy thing is I think they are calling for another 8-12 inches Tuesday! I need the sunshine!!!
