Sledding

The kids were out of school on Friday because we got a dusting of snow.  I seriously think the school system just wanted to use a snow day because the roads were completely clear.  The snow was gone by mid morning so the kids didn't get to play in it too much.  Then we woke up Saturday to another dusting of snow.  This time we took advantage of it and did some sledding.

The snow was gone again by lunch time, but at least we got to have a little bit of snow fun.  

Sunday Snapshot- First Snow of 2012

Carrie decided to start posting a Sunday snapshot of her favorite photo from the week, so I decided to join along.  We had our first snow of the year.  We didn't get much more than you see in the photo, but school was still out the next day. Crazy!!  

Winter Wonderland

Monday morning we received some much anticpated snow. Three days later it is still a winter wonderland.

Team Up Thursday- Shadows

Man, oh man. This week's theme was a hard one for me. It has been so dreary and cold lately. The sun only comes out in little spurts. Nothing inside was inspiring me. So a photo of what life has been like around here seemed appropriate (my photo is on the bottom). I love Cara's shot and she has a good story to go along with it, which makes it even more fun. She is in a conference room at work in front of a projector.

Sledding

The combination of snow and ice that we received over the weekend was perfect for sledding.

Don't you love the pink gloves? I guess that is what happens when you have an older sister. He doesn't seem to mind though.

They would zoom down the driveway, across the street and into the neighbors front yard.

Each time Miller would say, "Let's do it again."

So they would do it again.

Look at those smiles.

Wheeee......

The view from the top of the driveway.

I had to stand guard at the bottom of the driveway to make sure no cars were coming. This is what our road looked like.

We still have some snow lingering around, but the roads are clear and the kids are back in school. I can honestly say I am not too sad to see it go. A couple of days is all I need.

Ice, Ice Baby

As forecasted we were slammed with snow and ice on Friday. Which meant we spent the weekend at home playing in the snow. It also meant more macrotherapy for me. Ice is almost as fun to photograph as raindrops.

The snow was so hard that I could stand on it without my feet sinking in.

Mmmmm

So what did you do this weekend?

Let it Snow

We don't get much snow here in Tennessee so when we get even just a little bit everyone goes a tad crazy. School was out on Thursday and Friday. There was not enough snow to make a snowman, but there was enough to have some fun. And there was plenty to eat. Why do kids love eating snow so much?

Can you hear the laughter?

Today's theme for Theme Thursday is laughter. While playing outside in the snow on Sunday, the kids thought it was hilarious to throw snowballs at me. Harper liked pretending she was just walking by and then she would all of the sudden throw the snowball right at me (usually the back of me). Miller was less discreet. He didn't feel that it was necessary to hide the fact he was about to launch snow in my direction.

Oh my goodness, look at that cute scrunched up nose....

and his cute little smirk.



What? I am not doing anything.


Gotcha


This is not a snowball in my hand.

Uh, oh. They are teaming up on me now.

I sure do love snow.

I think I could look at her smile all day long.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
