Now for the snow and ice. So, I am sure you are all aware of our "massive" winter storm in the south. I was so excited for our one snow day of the year or every other year, and the boys were pumped as well. We stared out the window all afternoon Tuesday waiting on it to happen. We waited and waited. The boys finally passed out a little after 9. Around this time we started to see some freezing rain and sleet and then around 11 p.m. a little snow started to mix in. We were keeping our fingers crossed for a few inches so the boys could build a snowman and get a little sledding in. All we got was a little dusting (maybe an inch accumulation) but, that didn't stop us from being rednecks in the snow. By rednecks in the snow, I mean we improvise on our sleds. Ours happened to be a top from a 60 quart cooler. I had to laugh at how time, age, and parenthood changes your use of items. 10 years ago we would have worried about keeping that lid on the cooler to keep our "drinks" cold now, we say to heck with that cooler that top looks like a sled for the boys! I wouldn't trade today's outlook on things for anything in the world.
Here are a few pictures from our snow day.......
The Big Hill In Town
(my sister in-law somehow got her hands on a real sled)
Love their expressions.
Proof not a lot of snow is needed for sledding
Mommy gets a turn on the "sled" too
How did others enjoy your snow day?
What have you turned into a sled?
