Snow Day 2012

As I mentioned in my previous entry, (are you done laughing by the way?) yesterday was a snow day. The kids were very excited because it meant they got to go back to bed (Neil & Michael were already up getting ready) and they got to just be lazy. Kevin was already off due to a safety day so we all just stayed home and chilled. We really weren't that lazy though, we made pretzel dogs and pretzels for lunch, Michael wanted to make marshmallows, we made ham & bean soup and homemade cornbread, we finished making beef jerky.

Of course we played outside in the snow. The two younger boys stayed out there FOREVER, I'm a wimp, I came in after I went sledding down the hill (my body is still mad at me about that). We had a lot of fun and lucky us...we have another snow day today! Although Kevin did have to go to work, the boys and I will hopefully be as productive as yesterday.

Enjoy the slideshow!

Snow Day Videos...Need a Laugh?

Today was a snow day and I took so many pictures (so many they are still loading...darn stupid slow computer!) but we also captured a few videos.

I seriously have no shame which is why I am posting this first video. Kevin told me he wasn't video taping but I knew he was lying. Kevin and I are obviously not the smartest people, we were sledding in our back yard which ends in a tree line. I'm not sure what we were thinking (probably that we would both stop before we got to the trees). Well as you can see from my video, that didn't happen, I flipped when the tube hit a patch of roots and let me tell you, my back is not too happy! I have to admit it is super funny and I won't blame you if you laugh, I did and as you will see so did Kevin...a lot.


This second video is of Kevin, he went down much faster and you can hear him scream at the end when he ran into a nice stump (remember, I said we weren't the smartest people, lol). You can hear me trying not to laugh but to be honest it was funny.

The next two videos are of the boys playing in the snow. They kept trying to wrestle each other, poor Michael is at a disadvantage I think (although he got a few good licks in). Daniel managed to mainly make Neil mad and they all ended up wet.



Overall a good snow day...I'll be posting another entry full of all our activities and pictures...I know, I know, you can't wait!
