Winter arrived!

 

Last Friday we had a winter weather advisory with predictions of anywhere between 2-6 inches.  It started around 2pm so unfortunately we didn't get the day off.  By the time the kids came home from school the roads were bad.  In fact, Evan's bus got into a small accident and the poor kid didn't get home until 5:45pm!

Once my family was all home and settled we made homemade pizzas and the kids were anxious to play outside.  Ethan came over since they lost power and he spent the night at our house.  

The next morning we made pancakes and took the boys sledding through the woods by our house.  We tried 3 different hills and finally found a spot that wasn't icy or bumpy.  It was a lot of fun and the it was the first time I actually went down the hill in years!

The next few days the cold temperatures moved in and we weren't able to really go outside comfortably.  The kids and Scott had Monday off for MLK day and then we got Tuesday and Wednesday off for cold days since the windchill was -20 in the mornings.  We played games, sorted Lego, watched movies, and ventured out to Costco.

We are back to work and school!  And we're hoping to get lots of snow time this weekend, sledding and skiing since the temperatures are more tolerable.  Winter finally decided to show up!
