Winter Wednesday




  Last week the weatherman warned a Nor Easter was coming.  It later would be called a blizzard but being from NY I'm going to refrain from calling it that.  We got some snow.  Inches and inches of it.  It covered the grass, the trees and cars.  It shut down roads, businesses and schools.

  Here's the pros and cons of the storm!

Pros:
Everything stops and shuts down.
Your kids are home from school for daysssss.

Cons:
Everything stops and shuts down.
Your kids are home from school for daysssss.

  It's funny because I came from snow and we kept pushing forward but NY is experienced.  More equipped.  Fully prepared with sand and plows!  I get that.  VA is doing the best that they can wit what they have when it snows.


We bundled up as best we could because it was cold!!!


Outside play is the quickest in 20°! 


Snowballs were assembled and battles were had.


Snow angels check!


Even walks around the block for some fresh air.


Snow play is complete when you can make a snowman!

Our winter is complete!  The thing left that we would love to do is ski, sled, and tube.  All that requires a hill which are very limited in my area.  I hope a road trip is in our future before winter is over.  Oh and ice skating to round it all out!

We have done a lot in the house to make up for those bored blues!  Games, crafts and cocoa makes the world a happier place! 


How are you in enjoying your winter or whatever season your in?  It's all about making the most of what you have.

  1. Such a beautiful post. I will be traveling to VA tomorrow and I am a bit worried about not being stuck in snow there because you are right they have no idea as to how to function in snow. So help me God! lol

  5. OMG, it was really cold last week. I heard that all classes were suspended and some stores were closed. I liked the snow, but not the chilly feeling :P

    1. Yes even businesses were closed. I hate how everything stops. It's good though for everyone to minimize danger.
