SNOW!!

It's been so long since we've had snow that I wasn't ready to believe it until it actually happened!  Just as forecasted though, it started early Wed morning.  Our drive into Wichita took twice as long as normal, so we decided to skip our stop at the grade school and reschedule K2 and K3's checkups for that afternoon.  The first round didn't bring too much, maybe 4 inches.  I got it shoveled before Eric got home.  I love shoveling and was excited to finally get a chance after so long!

When Daddy got home, we played in the snow before dinner.







SNOW BALL FIGHT!



Jasmine wanted to play too!

School was canceled on Thurs and Fri! Daddy was even home on Thur because it was such a mess. We ended up with somewhere between 14-16 inches of snow.  We played again on Thur.  It was so deep,  Konny could hardly walk in it.  I got to do lots of shoveling, clearing our driveway and helping the neighbors too.


Konny helped me with the deck.


Friday night we had snow ice cream!  Mmmmm!



Now we're ready for round two.  The latest reports are saying up to 20 inches with blizzard like conditions because of the gusting winds.  School is already canceled.  Eric is home with the kids (poor Buggy is sick) and I will be attempting to get to and from work!  All the snow can be a bit of a pain, but the kids love it and we are praising the Lord for the much needed moisture!

Could have used your snow scooping abilities here! Our muscles are wore out! Talk about a wet and heavy snow! Great for the subsoil moisture--we need so bad. Love the kids doing snow angels and snowball fights. Fun memories...
