Snow Day

Sunday was a snow day for us.  Yes, I admit here and now for all the world to see that we skipped church.  Now in my defense the snow was piled high and there was no way my van would have made it out of the driveway let alone down the road to church.  Instead I let the kids go play in the wet white stuff for about an hour.  They've been wanting to do it since it started especially Lex since I haven't let her out in it yet.


I'm stuck!




I should amend my saying to most of the kids got to play in the snow.  November was Ben's month to shovel snow and so he had to work first.  I think he got the end of the stick on this.  Here it was the last 5 days of the month and 25+ inches of snow falls.  Next moth is Chris' turn wonder how much he will have to shovel?  I did help out just in case any of you were wondering.  I don't believe in total child labor :)


After dinner it was snow cones (or in this case bowls) for dessert.  This is also something that the children have been wanting forever, at least since last year.  Most times I take it easy and just add flavored syrup to snow but if I'm feeling fiesty I add cream and make ice cream.


As you can see they love it.  Not sure he really tasted it.  He ate it too fast and then had seconds.
