After a long run on the treadmill while the kids played together, I decided to make Savannah happy and let her do a science project while daddy was at work. Although the plastic strawberry car didn't work exactly like we expected, it was fun to watch Savannah follow the directions and assemble the car so well. Shortly after finishing the project I realized that the snow had really picked up and that the sidewalks were all covered so I texted Dave that he might need to check the weather.
By the time Dave got home around 11am this is what our backyard looked like. I measured the snow and it was 5.5 inches in addition to the 2-3 inches that fell last night!
After lunch and good naps, we all went out to play. Preston was the first to clear the slide and Savannah was the first one that got to try our new snow tube . . . after making a snow angel that is.
Then to the front yard for some sledding fun!
The weather was not very cooperative as the snow had completely changed to sleet by this point. After a bit of sledding fun and a few pictures, Savannah and I were done and headed inside!
And once the boys were done outside, this is the mess that was left in the floor . . . which is why snow days aren't days "off" for mamas!
While they were still unlayering Savannah and I whipped our first ever batch of snow cream. It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it . . well everyone but Preston that is.
We spent the rest of the afternoon working on Savannah's school project (Sally Ride), finishing our Valentine cards and gifts, and Savannah worked hard to finish her spelling and math homework for the week! Now all of the laundry is done, the dishes are washed and we are praying that our power stays on despite the freezing rain that continues to fall. There is more snow headed our way tomorrow . . .
