Snow Day

The kids and I have attempted to drive to Indiana for Grandma's 90th birthday party. Have you heard? We got a little snow up here. ;) We left early to beat the storm to Aunt Deb's in Pittsburgh, KS. This is where most of the snow is being dumped. Thankfully, we have power and no ice, so it's not really horrible. Just cold. Really cold. And LOTS of snow. But it's dry. So for a 5 and 2 year old, it's not so great. They can see it. They want desperately to build a snowman. But it's - 12 outside. -12 snow doesn't pack well. Oh well. We have electricity and great company.It was an official white out blizzard.
Uncle Bruce has spent the majority of our time here out snow blowing. Trying to keep ahead of it so that it doesn't ice over too bad.
Andy prefers to watch Uncle Bruce from the new garage. The winds were CRAZY. Kansas kinda crazy. If you look closely, you can see it blowing in the doorway.
Can you see the ice hanging from his mustache?

The first three hours, over 12 inches fell.
I have no idea how much is out there now. But it's a LOT. It takes 20 minutes to suit up the kids, and they last about three minutes before wanting the fire.

We don't have a sled. But trash bags work well with two year olds.
Andy's new posture. I'm cold. And I'm miserable. Please put down the camera and take me inside.
He likes the fire.
And watching Uncle Bruce through the window.
He was so cold, he let me change him out of his McQueen uniform clothing and into warmer jammies.
Footie Jammies. I love footie jammies.
And just because it's cute, here he is saying meal time prayers.
Hope you are staying warm! The party has been canceled. So, I'm not sure what our next move will be.... Regardless, we won't be driving anywhere for a few more days!
