Snow Days

What a week!

Monday:  Phillip and the girls were home Monday due to the holiday (I had to work).

Tuesday:  A normal day for us - work and school.

Wednesday:  Freezing rain - nothing major but enough to keep us all home.  Phillip worked while I wrangled the kids.  Church was cancelled.

Thursday:  A normal day - work and school.

Friday:  Another stay-at-home day but this time we got real snow.  Phillip was able to work from home again.

Saturday:  Highlights: We played in the snow, watched DuckTales and went to Kroger that evening.

Sunday (yesterday):  Church, Teacher Appreciation Luncheon, Singing at NHC (Ellen), Lads to Leaders (Ellen, her first time), an afternoon of laundry, cooking and watching football (from the kitchen), church (we taught Children's Bible Hour), fellowship meal with our visitation group (we are back in the program after taking a 5 year break) and then more football.

Each of our favorite teams are headed to the Super Bowl!  One of us will be happy no matter who wins :)

To recap...

It snowed!  The girls only went to school 2 days last week, I worked 3 days and Phillip worked 4 days, 2 at home and 2 at the office.

I don't think we could have fit another activity (or chore) into our Sunday.

We are a house divided.  (Go Broncos!)

Round One: Friday

Ellen checking to see if the snow is play-worthy

She decided it was, so back inside they went for gloves and boots (Ellen) and more layers (Lilly)

Now she's ready :)

Round 2

Post snow angel

Sledding at the house next door
(steeper driveway and no one is currently living there #winwin)

Phillip took a break and joined us outside

Round 3: Saturday

Wipe out

Neighbor's yard

Ellen's turn

Lilly put her face in the snow just for fun

Just sitting on a pile of snow...

Lilly calling it quits

"Can somebody let me in?"

Happy and free

(I didn't run through the aisles but it was nice to get out of the house.)

"I'm not going out in the snow ever again!" - Lilly, every time she came inside after playing in the snow.  Time heals all wounds :)

School was out again today but we sent Ellen to SACC.  Lilly had a 2 hour delay.  It will be business as usual tomorrow.

It was fun while it lasted!
