Oh Yeah, It's a Blizzard!

Kayli says "Wow, Mom, it sure is foggy out!" Well, not exactly, Kayli, this is what we call a blizzard. Kayli was dying to get out and check this out, so I decided we would take a walk to the mailbox on our corner. The snow was blowing at us so hard that we couldn't see where we were going. Made me think about the "Little House on the Prairie" stories! Kayli "tried" to play, but quickly announced "This is not good playin' weather, Mom, it's hurting my eyes." Today was definitely a day to stay inside and watch it snow, and snow, and snow, and...

and wonder just how much snow we'd end up with. The snow drifts were looking pretty awesome! We already knew that we'd have another day off, so we'd have plenty of time to play in this when the snow stopped falling! By morning, the sun was shining, and the clean white snow drifts were calling to us! (Lucky for me, I had several offers from neighbors to clear my driveway for me! Woohoo! More time to play!) Kayli climbed to the top of the "mountain" at the foot of our driveway and yelled to our neighbor "Hey, look at me!"  He waved back, laughing.

then we decided to make our own mini-sledding hill...

after a few more "sled runs", on our mini-mountain, we decided to head around to the backyard to check out the fun to be had back there...

I still can't believe how much snow we got, but we loved the days off, and we loved the beautiful, sunny day we had to play in the snow!
