Snow

So, what's been up since the trip to Washington? Well, most of that time was filled with snow.
On the day we flew to WA there was a big ole' snow storm, we missed it all thankfully, but we did come back to our car being covered in 6 inches of snow in the air port parking lot.


6 inches is a pretty goodly snow, so there was a snow man built, and some snow play that happened.

no one was really interested in helping Isabella build the snow man, so she had to go it alone. She got it done though.

Her scarf and some leaves make the hair. Cucumber eyes, carrot nose, twig arms with gloves and grass for the smile.

Not too long after we got back we were in for another big storm. I think this is the biggest one I've got a memory of. I don't recall ever having a "blizzard warning" before. But we sure had it that day. Blizzard winds and lots of snow. I think we got 12 inches.


The drifts were higher.

Xander was not too happy that the only pair of snow pants that fit him were purple :) guess I need to get some new ones.

Kole and Ari discovered that the snow didn't accumulate much around the car, so that's where they hung out. walking through 12 inches of snow is even tougher when your legs aren't much longer than that.

during the storm while we were away someone hit our mail box. It was still standing, but severely leaning. Well, the second storm did it in.It came all the way down, Faron thinks it was from the snow that got plowed into it from the road. So, he and Xander fixed it up for us so we could start getting mail again.

Kole is not a big fan of playing in the snow. He won't keep gloves on and really doesn't like getting cold, so it's not a good combo!


The other kids thought snow was fun though!
