Snow Days!!!

For the past 2 days we have had a severe winter storm come through our area. This storm has been so bad for the roads that even Purdue University has been closed for those days. These are the kinds of things we do when we are forced to stay inside all day.

First of all we must shovel the snow. This storm has been bad because we have had freezing rain on top of the snow, so if you can see in the picture Steven in using a normal flat head shovel not a snow shovel because the snow is really a soft ice. It came of the walk in large ice chunks so he got it off the walks with that shovel and then I helps plow it off the driveway with the snow shovel. It was hard work.
With daddy home what could be more fun than a huge sward fight. Miranda and Jacob (mostly Jacob) could sward fight for hours but mommy and daddy don't last quite long.

As you can see he likes two swards for all sward fights, smart kid.



Of course what is a good day inside without a nice long jumping on the bed. What are guest beds for anyway?
We are so happy to be safe and warm inside on this cold and snowy day and even more grateful that our power has not gone out and we have plenty of room to play and have fun:)

I can't believe Purdue shut down. Wow! Looks like you have been having fun even though everyone has been stuck inside. I don't miss those super cold winter days. Yesterday when we went to playgroup it was about 32F outside and all the other moms were complaining about how cold it was. I didn't think it was too bad. That is what Indiana winters do for you.

Awesome! I do sort of miss the snow. Miranda's hair sure is getting long! Sounds like Jacob and Liam will get a long really well this summer! Now what was Jackson doing during all of this fun stuff?
