blizzard 2016 - the phone version

same snow. different camera :-)

the snow started on Friday afternoon. so we went sledding that night. knowing it was going to be WINDY and snowing ALL day the next day. that was fun!!

 we tried to keep up with it throughout the day Saturday. it was a bit overwhelming!

keeping myself sane in the house.....sometimes you just gotta look at things from a different perspective ;-)

 we couldn't even walk to our sledding hill...but there was enough snow in our front yard!

 teamwork.

 sunday morning was SO beautiful! the blue sky. the white snow. it was stunning.

 sunday night football.

Monday morning we all squeezed into pat's jeep and he took me to the gym. it was a TRUE act of love. and wisdom. on his part ;-)

 he played basketball with them while I worked out, because the kids club wasn't even open that day!

he was worried about our porch roof collapsing. so he got out there and shoveled it off. made me SO nervous!

early in the week, bailey said she wanted her hair cut. like, REALLY cut. I gave it a couple days, and then took her! it looks so good!!

the kids ended up being out of school ALL week from the snow. it was a pretty good week, considering all that time! we really didn't do anything amazing. lots of sledding, chores, puzzles, games, reading, baking and just enjoying life with NO schedules!
