Snow Day #3

So, today was the third day of massive amounts of snow STILL everywhere, bad streets, and no school.  The campus was closed so Jacob got to stay home with us again today.   We went outside twice and had hot chocolate. I did some laundry and the boys played.  We found out the schools are closed again tomorrow.  Everyone here is talking about how bad the roads are.  Jacob has to go to work tomorrow because they are so far behind they just can't be closed any longer.  The funny thing is that most of the people on facebook are upset about it and threatening to use vacation time and not go in at all tomorrow.  It should be an interesting day -- Jacob says he's not looking forward to it.  At least it will be Friday, I guess.

I wanted to post some pictures of today's fun in the snow.

We tried to build a snowman, but the snow just wasn't working the way the boys wanted it to. So, daddy to the rescue!  Jacob suggested they build a snow fort and then have snow ball fights.  The boys LOVED that idea.  Here, the boys are adding snow to the snow fort.

Jacob, who has been shoveling snow for the past two days, decided to use the snow shovel to help make the fort's progress a little faster.

The finished fort -- Logan is showing me how you are supposed to duck behind it when some one throws a snow ball at you.

The icicle Alex used as a sword to guard the snow fort from his daddy.  LOL

Jacob was throwing snow balls and Alex wasn't ready.  Alex got mad and got right in Jacob's face to talk to him about it.  It was pretty funny.

Logan walking through our yard -- the snow still goes up to his knees.

Logan fell in the snow and was covered -- it was even on his face.  He was NOT happy about it!

Ready for sledding.  All of the neighborhood kids have been sliding down this hill with snowboards and anything they can find to use as a sled. You can see where all the kids have slid down the hill -- all the snow is gone and it's just icy grass.

Alex's turn to sled down the hill

Boys sledding -- they LOVE the snow!

I helped Alex write in the snow

Logan being silly -- I thought this was funny

Tomorrow is snow day #4 -- I'm sure there will be more pictures and more winter fun, especially since I can't get my car out of the driveway and therefore we will be here again tomorrow!
