Snow Days

We have had another week of crazy Oklahoma weather. Freezing rain followed by sleet followed by snow. This is the third day that school has been out, but I'm guessing we will probably have school tomorrow. (And by the way, the high temperature for Saturday is 61!) We have tried to enjoy the crazy precipitation to the best of our ability. Benson has been loving it and would have stayed outside all day the past three days.

Day 1 - Just before it changed over to actual snow the kids and I went outside to play in the sleet. So we were getting pelted with tiny balls of ice the whole time we were out there which really wasn't bad until you laid down to try and make a sleet angel.


Day 2 - We met Grandma, Aunt Jenny, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Paul, Aunt Molly, Aislee, and Olivia at the mall for lunch and shopping. Then they came back to our house with the sleds. First we tried sledding in the backyard.

Then we decided to try this wicked awesome hill that is only a few streets down from ours. I'm not sure who started calling it that, but that is how Benson now refers to it "the wicked awesome hill."



Everyone had a great time...everyone that is except Grace...

Thanks Uncle Paul, Aunt Jenny, and Aunt Sarah for taking the kids sledding!

Day 3 - Mike woke Benson up early this morning and headed out to the wicked awesome hill for some more sledding. Then the kids and I went out later in the morning to play in the quickly melting slush. We went inside when Grace and Benson started stomping in the big puddle at the end of the driveway.
