Jan 2011 Snow!

We measured 5" of snow on our driveway this morning, and I think it was even a bit deeper than that in other places (some neighbors measured it at 6"). Kaylee didn't have school today anyway, but yesterday our county canceled school for today and I just saw an update that it's closed again tomorrow (Kaylee would have had school tomorrow). We went out in the snow with her for about an hour and a half this morning; when she finally had enough, she came in for a warm bath and hot cocoa. She had a great time playing out in the snow, though! She made about 20 snow angels, had fun falling down in the deep snow and sledding down a hill in a pool inner tube.

I made snow ice cream this morning and that's what we had for breakfast! (Along with some granola bars.) Kaylee loved that!


When we first walked outside, Kaylee's pants were gray. That lasted all of about 2 minutes, until she discovered how much she enjoyed falling down into the deep snow!
