Snow / Ice Day

The deep south experienced a winter storm Sunday. We got lots of ice and not so much snow. Since we are not equipped in our city to deal with ice it was a day off from work and school. Anna Claire ran in our room this morning to tell me we had not gotten much snow but she thought the across the street neighbor had gotten more than us. Then she said, "Mom, can we get on their roof to make a snow man?"

We went outside and the girls wanted to have a snowball fight. Lizzie had to work pretty hard to get enough ice to make a ball then she threw it at Russ. After our lack luster snowball fight we started skating on the street since it was covered in a thick layer of ice. The girls loved skating - who needs an ice skating rink? There were lots of people out in our neighborhood sledding down the icy hills.

And since we really cannot deal with wintry weather we have tomorrow off too!
