Katelyn's basketball cheer girl debut was moved to Thursday with the threat of snow on Friday. She had a blast, cheering on the basketball court with the other elementary girls as well as the "Big" girls. She was in heaven. Even after their cheer girl job was over, Katelyn hung out down on the sideline with the real cheerleaders and kept cheering. She loved it.
Snow fell all day Friday, so the kids were home with their mommy and Aunt Sherry for an official snow day. We got about 4 inches of snow--the most the kids have really ever seen. After about 40 minutes of dressing, we were ready to head outside. The snow was not wet enough so our attempts at making a snow man were in vain, but the girls enjoyed making snow angels, throwing snow balls and sledding down one of our neighbor's driveways. Ellie lasted about 20 minutes before she was too cold. (That is less time than it took her to get dressed.) Katelyn, on the other hand, had to be drug in she was having so much fun. Her poor toes had to be unthawed, but she survived with a warm bath and some hot cocoa.
Owen didn't venture out into the cold. I didn't want to freeze his little cheeks off, but he got to pose for the camera just anyway.
The kids ventured out today for Day 2 of the snow with their daddy. The hill out front of our house turned out to be an excellent hill for sledding. All the neighborhood kids took a turn. It is 9:30 pm and I can still hear people outside squealing as they play and sled in the snow. We are hoping to get out of the house tomorrow. I am beginning to feel a little closed in. Hoping that the roads clear up a bit first.
