SNOW DAY! (after Snow Day after Snow Day...)

They were forecasting 6-10 inches of snow for us last Friday night/Saturday. We pretty much knew that we would be stuck at home for several days, so we planned to go out to eat and then make a Target run on Friday night. It wasn't supposed to start snowing until around 9 or 10 that night so I figured that we had plenty of time to mess around Friday night. We arrived at the restaurant around 6:00. As soon as we got out of the car it started snowing. We went to eat and came out around 7:00. Snow covered the ground and all the cars. Thank goodness it wasn't sticking to the roads yet! Adam was impressed by all the snow. He saw my car and said "Look! Snowmans on Mommy's car!" He couldn't believe all the snowmans falling from the sky. We tried and tried to explain that they were flakes and not men but he just didn't get it. Just the other day he said all disappointedly, "Aww. Snowmans all gone."
We did end up getting about 6 1/2 inches of snow and then some sleet and ice on top of that. It snowed all day Saturday and the temps were very low. The boys finally got to go out on Sunday afternoon. Sarah had to stay in because she ended up with a runny nose. (Between the three of them I feel like I am constantly wiping snotty noses.) They closed school completely on Monday and then had teacher workdays the rest of the week. Jackson and I finally got to go back to school on a delay on Thursday but then we had another day off on Friday because of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Will this week be a normal week?

Adam is into changing clothes. He puts on his pajamas every chance he gets. He also seems to think that every time he changes his clothes he needs to pick out a new pair of underwear. (I've since moved them to a top shelf in his closet.) He took his warm, fleece pajamas off to put on his Mickey Mouse ones. He then proceeded to complain about being cold. Well, he fixed that by curling up in the chair with a blanket.

Adam could barely walk in his boots in the house much less in the snow. I think he fell with almost every step.

I've fallen and I can't get up!

Kevin and the boys built a snow fort. It looks cozy in there, I guess...
