Snow day! The news had been forecasting a snow
blizzard for several days with snowfall expected 5 to 10 inches and lots of blowing, so we were all prepared for a snow day. It snowed
all night and started blowing. The kids were so excited when they woke up. This
was our first snow of the winter and it came with a vengeance. Jake was so
excited to get outside I barely got breakfast in him and he was dressed and out
the door. First thing Jake did was plop
down in the snow and make a snow angel. There was a lot of snow and drifts. The
wind was blowing cold and fiercely! The wind was strong and continued to pick
up to 50 mph. Jake was out by 7:30 in the morning and the temps were cold. It
wasn’t long and Luke was up and eager to go out. Then Mark and Jayden went out
to do chores. The boys played outside in the cold wind. There faces were always
wet as the wind would blow snow in their faces. I kept thinking they would get
cold and just come in. Not the case, I had to make them come inside. They had
ice on their eyelashes and hair. Jacob went outside 3 different times for at
least an hour each. I was worried about his face and getting frostbite. The last time out he was out over 2 hours and it was
getting dark. Mark kept saying that kid is tough.
