Snow Is Falling...

all around.  On the roof top,

On the ground...

And on the chicken coop...

Monday there was no school for Martin Luther King day, then Tuesday school started 2 hours late, only to have it start snowing about the time the kids went to school and so they were sent home 2 hours early.  

Wednesday and Thursday the snow has been falling constantly.  The chickens won't come out of their coop, even when I left the door open.  I don't blame them.  I haven't been out much either.

The kids have been loving it.  They have been sledding, having snowball fights, building snowmen and generally having fun in the snow.

When they got tired of snowball fights.  They had nerf sword fights, in the snow.

There are icicles on the side of the house.

It has been fun, but I will be glad when it rains and melts all the snow:)

Snow Day!

Saturday afternoon I looked out the window and what did I see?

Snow, snow falling everywhere!

This is our first snow this winter, so the kids were very excited.

We pulled out all the snow clothes and boots 

and Zelda got her first play in the snow.

It snowed more during the night and on Sunday.  I was gone all morning to some meetings and Trip let the kids play in the snow all morning.  When I got home everyone was wet and exhausted.  I made them go to church anyway.  We were sent home from church after only Sacrament meeting.  Our meetings start at 1 and if we had them all, it would put us going home about sun down when things would get icy.

The kids had more time to play in the afternoon.  

Daphne is the only one that braved it.  

Luckily she had Ginger to keep her company.

 Some of the other chickens didn't walk in the snow.  They stayed under the trees where it was bare.

It is supposed to snow every day until Thursday when it is supposed to rain.  Oh glorious rain, I love you washing away the snow after the fun is over!
