Ice, Ice Baby

School was cancelled today due to the ice and dusting of snow.  We got out and played for a little while this afternoon. 

the trees are so pretty when they're covered in ice

 despite me telling him how nasty it was, he insisted on eating some ice

 Reagan loved breaking off the icicles

Hot Chocolate and Ice

School was closed today for President's Day, so the kids went to day camp.  I picked them up after lunch because the weather was predicted to get bad...it was already sleeting and freezing rain was falling.  

they asked for hot chocolate and a movie

 the icing has begun!

Snow Much Fun

We got a "dusting" of snow overnight...so schools were delayed for 2 hours.  The kids made the most of their extra 2 hours by playing in the snow.

 they always try to catch snowflakes on their tongue

taking aim

 snowball fight

 throwing snowballs at mom

 she got me!

 they made a huge snowball!

 they came in asking if they could have some hot chocolate to warm up

Unfortunately, the time ended too soon ~ it was time to go to school!
