Wow.... TONS of snow at our place! We woke up this morning to around 7 inches of snow! That has got to be some sort of record around here! Needless to say, we didn't have school today. So Sam and I both got to stay home. It's supposed to be my week to work and I got today off and we're getting tomorrow off too! I always welcome the opportunity to stay at home with Michael, but it's even better when Sam gets to stay home with us!
We hopped in our 4-wheel-drive vehicle and drove to our friend's house (only 2 miles away) and played in the snow with their family.
Michael and Kaylin are best friends and they enjoyed throwing snowballs and riding on our makeshift "sled". The snow was so powdery that you couldn't form a ball, much less a snowman. So, we decided sledding was the best idea! Nobody owns sleds here in Georgia. We use trash can lids and laundry baskets... But, my friend Robin had the idea of using this baby play thing-a-ma-jig as a sled and it was awesome! Sam even rode on it a bit...
Our family could only take the cold weather for a little bit before we had to head in and warm up by the fire. Side note: We are known to go snowboarding for hours, but when it comes to playing in the snow, we're wimps! Go figure...
We spent the rest of the afternoon at home in our nice warm house by our electric fireplace. We made rice krispy treats and snowcream. (I'm not a fan of the snowcream... I'd rather have a Chick-fil-a icedream instead.) I'm so excited to have another day at home tomorrow. Maybe the snow will stick enough for us to make a snowman this time!
As of this afternoon, we are officially iced in our house. We watched out our window this afternoon as a man was trying to drive up our street. He was going really fast trying to make it up the hill and would spin like crazy. He reversed and tried again several times before getting stuck in a ditch. Sam helped him out by shoveling snow... After half an hour, he was unstuck. Doesn't look like we're going anywhere tomorrow... maybe even the next day too?!
