Day #1-2 of being Snowed In

On December 5th, it began to ice and snow so of course like everyone else who lived through the last ice storm, we should have began preparing on Tuesday and Wednesday before it hit.  I however was extremely sick but did manage to get pull ups before we got snowed in.  We were also glad that Jeff was able to make it back from Springfield.  He of course went to work on Day #1 and Day #2 of snow so it was up to me to take the boys out to play.  The first day, we pretty much only went out for about 15 minutes. 

Here are the boys after about 20 minutes of getting them and myself dressed.  There were lots of tears and stress when trying to put on this many clothes.  Evan didn't think he could walk and even started crying because "he was too fat."

Luke quickly wanted to make a snow angel, which instantly got him completely covered in snow and so then he was cold.

Evan wanted to be exactly like Luke but he had a more difficult time getting around and keeping up.  He soaked his gloves pretty much instantly and his poor little hands were freezing.

The snow was very beautiful all around the house and we are so lucky to live here.

The kids attempted to play on the swing  set which didn't work quite like they had planned but they had fun anyhow.  You can barely see our fire pit because the snow was so deep.

The boys attempted to shovel off the back deck (which was never going to happen). 

 

After all of our fun in the snow, we decided to make cupcakes.  They were so good and yes I did have more than one.
