Snow Day/ Ice Day/ Rain Day

The news has been calling for a winter storm all week to hit Thursday- Saturday. Last year the called for a huge storm that never happened. We all ended up out of school today. It was mainly heavy rain and wind until around noon. Then the freezing rain and ice pellets started. 

We enjoyed a lazy day at home. Brooks and I stayed in our pajamas all day. We all took naps too since the boys were wide awake way before 6:00. We took down the bunk beds to form single beds. We made cupcakes and played. The boys were only in school 1 day this week so they have definitely had too much togetherness. 

Jackson and Tim went out to play in the ice before dinner. Brooks was grumpy so he just watched.

After dinner the boys decorated their cupcakes and made the biggest mess with sprinkles.

We took baths, and the boys talked to Grandma and Grandpa. Jackson was getting ready for bed when it finally started snowing! We all went out in our pajamas. Brooks was convinced that Santa and the Polar Express would be arriving any second. He kept asking , " Whete's Santa? Whete's Polar Press?" As soon as we got outside, the snow basically stopped. Jackson said, " I guess The Weather Channel turned the snow off."

We don't even have an inch but they had fun. Jackson has big plans for tomorrow-snowman, snow castle, snowball fight.

We had an indoor snowball fight today and lost one of our snowballs. The boys had another one tonight and now 3 are missing. I reminded Jackson that we were already missing one. He was very quick to point out that was two more than before. I wan impressed!
