Our Snow Day

Okay, so the other day I was going to update our blog and post all our pictures of the fun things we've been doing since the weather turned warm. Things like going to the park, eating ice cream cones, hiking, etc. Probably to brag a little bit to all my friends and relatives that live in the North. I never got around to it though. So it probably serves me right that now I have to post SNOW pictures! I cannot belive that all my beautiful flowers that were getting ready to bloom are now covered up in snow and ice!


When we got out of church it was snowing but hardly sticking anywhere except to a few cars. Rebekah was so excited to go out and play in it. So by the time we got her changed from church clothes to warm clothes it had mostly turned into rain again. There was no convincing her that it wasn't snow!



So then we made her come inside and everyone took naps. When we woke up it was much more like snow! Except it was still really wet and mushy. As soon as you walked around in it it was pretty much mud!




Rebekah was quite determined to play in the snow. Although she never really looked like she enjoyed it. She really wanted to build a snowman so the boys were helping her but then she wouldn't stand by it so Ryan could take her picture. I think she was just having an off-day today!
Here are some fun videos. Timothy, Jeremiah and Ryan were all throwing snowballs at each other and Timothy asked Ryan to throw one at his face so Ryan lovingly obliged!



This is Timothy AFTER the snowball in his face.


This was playing in the snow on Grandma's porch. Jeremiah and Rebekah kept making snow angels in all the icy mush.



Then, Timothy decided to throw a snowball at Jeremiah. I'm not sure if he "meant" to throw it in his face but that's where it "happened" to land. As you can see in the picture Jeremiah is not too happy about it and Timothy is trying to look innocent. :)


Rebekah still "having fun." She refused to go inside and admit that she was done. However, I don't really think she enjoyed it. What do you think?


On the other hand, Timothy and Jeremiah had a blast! Here is our attempt at a snowman!

I know! I can't believe we had all those cupcakes and no party to go to. Bill had Br. Zawadski, Kimble and Wells come over and they each took about 15 cupcakes home. I think Grant ate the rest.

Ps - I now have about 24 hours to do 2500 sit ups. Oh boy.

How fun! We never got snow - just lots of rain and a little ice. But school had already been cancelled! :) Looks like Jeremiah is doing good! Hope so! Love you guys!
