Snow Day, Again!

Yay! Another snow day! Matt's work was canceled again. We spent the day playing games, taking walks, playing outside and working together in the kitchen. I'm sooo glad I decided to grab a couple of extra gallons of milk and some flour on Tuesday before the big storm hit. Our cars are still sitting in the driveway, covered in snow. No tire tracks on our property--we haven't left here in two days.

The girls and I made these Asian lettuce wraps yesterday for lunch. Last night we had an impromptu snacky dinner/movie night. All the littles spent the night bundled in their sleeping bags on the living floor in front of the fire.

Matt and Paul worked on Paul's dog sled yesterday. They added skies and a weight in the back to make it slide more easily. Paul spent the better part of today outside giving his younger siblings rides. Paul gave me a ride on the sled this afternoon. (I was multi-tasking by having a conversation with my sister-in-law at the same time.)

Matt also built a little lean-to in the chicken yard for Paul's chickens to congregate under so they don't have to be all "cooped up" inside their house while its snowing. I'm sure our feathered friends will be much happier once all the white stuff is gone.
The public schools are canceled again tomorrow. I can't imagine Matt's work being canceled again. In the twenty years he's worked there, I don't know that he's ever had two consecutive days off due to bad weather, so this has really been a treat for our family. We've had a blast just hanging out with no "to dos" except the dishes and laundry. Hip hip hooray for snow days!
