Snow Reindeer and Snow Baseball





Today Sarah and Mark made a snow reindeer out of snow. The eyes were broccoli, the nose was a broccoli stalk and the mouth was a carrot. Sarah used rocks and broccoli for the buttons. On the reindeer's back she put goldfish. Also Mark and I played snow ball baseball with her. We have a snowball maker that we used to make the snowballs and then Sarah hit them with a stick. We all had a great time! (Sean was napping during this playtime).

Snow!






We got an additional 6 inches with a little ice. We had blizzard conditions off and on today with more wind expected tonight. The icicles have gotten really long,so Mark knocked some icicles off the gutters today. Can you believe more snow expected here on Monday!! We all enjoyed a snow day!

Snow Fun!














We have had a lot of fun playing in the 24 1/2 inches of snow. Unfortunately, Sean has had a cold through all this, so we have kept him inside. Sarah has had a lot of fun playing in the high mountains of snow. She also like how there is snow all the way around the playhouse, so when she is in the playhouse, its like her snow fort. The neighbors made a snow fort out of snow that she played in.

Speaking of snow! Another snow storm is on its way. 7 to 14 inches predicted starting Tuesday afternoon and continuing into Wednesday night before its is all done. We can't believe it!

Snow pictures






The total accumulation here was 24 1/2 inches of snow. It was fun to see accumulate and it's really fun to play in! More pictures will be posted tomorrow of our snow fun!

February 6th Snow Storm








We have gotten 20 inches and its still coming down. There is 5 to 9 more inches predicted for today. Sarah and I had fun playing in it this morning. Sean has a bad cold so he is not going in the snow today. Enjoy the pictures!

Snowstorm






We have all enjoyed watching the snow storm today. It is has been very cold and Windy, so Sarah and I played out in it for a little while, before getting too cold. We enjoyed our hot chocolate. Sean doesn't enjoy the snow as much as Sarah, since he doesn't like getting all bundeled up. Maybe tomorrow he will want to go out in it. Enjoy the pictures!

Natural History Musuem











We took Sarah and Sean to the Natural History Museum. Sarah and Sean both enjoyed the Metro ride. The ride got a little long for Sean, but he did a great job! Next time we will remember a DVD player to keep him occupied. Both kids really enjoyed the museum. We spent three hours there and saw the entire museum. Sean's favorite part of the museum was the Ocean exhibit and Sarah's favorite part was seeing the butterfly garden. We all enjoyed the museum and look forward to going to other Smithsonian Museum's soon.
