Well, this week has been a fun week ouside.  Sunday night we had some snow fall - the usual small amount we normally get in December that melts within a day or two.  But....Monday evening - it really came down.  And, Tuesday morning our placed looked like this:

And, the temp stayed nice and cool, so the snow stayed:

Daddy bought a cheap sled and Miss B got the 1st run:

Then our little guy got in on the action (notice sister's help in the initial push).

I even got on that sled with them for a couple of runs :)  I enjoyed reverting back to childhood.

And last evening the big boys had to have a go at it too though I didn't catch them til they were done.

The snow is still with us today and the boys are even now out going down the hill again.  All the local shools have been closed for 2 days now, but unfortunately (at least they think), home school didn't close.  LOL  Another snow storm is supposed to come through tonight as well.  But, it is also supposedly bringing a warm front and turning to rain tomorrow afternoon.

I love the snow.  I grew up in Alaska, so this is always a treat for me.  If it weren't for the driving hazard (we live on a hill), I'd be most happy if it stayed all winter.  I told the boys that growing up, there was only 1 time schools were closed in Anchorage for snow.  They're eyes popped out as here 1 small snowfall will shut everything down for a day.  I explained that up there the towns have lots of snowplows, dirt and studded tires for cars, so it was never a big deal.  The one time was a rapid & deep snowfall where the snow went up to an adult's waist and the plows couldn't move it fast enough.  Ah - memories - of snowforts, sledding, ice skating, & snowmobiling.  Did I mention I love snow?
