February Snow

The taxes are done, the bathrooms are clean, and the laundry is washed. Yes, it is definitely Monday. Time to sneak in a little blog post. :)

No more mild winter! Our first big snow of the season came as soon as we turned the calendar page. No snow days though, since the storm hit on a Friday night. Still, I think it was great timing. It allowed Derek to be at home with us! That doesn't usually happen, so I will take it as a treat.

Kaleb cleared his bedroom window off just as I was taking a picture of it!

I had to go outside for the rest of my pictures. All I can see of Aaron is his nose!

Derek worked hard to clear our driveway. No more basketball for a while!

Braylen is a big help for Derek. He works just as hard as his dad.
Ginger's good at getting in the way.

She's always on the move, which makes it hard for me to get a good picture of her!

We left our backyard untouched...until the next day.

This snowy Saturday was perfect for my boys. They spent about 2 hours outside before lunch, and 4-5 hours outside after lunch! I couldn't even coax them inside for snacks! Kaleb and Aaron built a fort and went sledding on our neighbor's snow drifts. Braylen built another fort with his friend Matthew. Derek spent the afternoon clearing driveways around town, and what did I do? Well, someone had to stay inside and bake cupcakes. :) I know, it's a hard life, but somebody has to live it!

One funny before I go. The other day Aaron asked me, "How old do you have to be to be old?" Before I could even come up with a response he said, "97! So, you're not old Mommy!" Wow, Aaron, you can have two cupcakes for dessert! :)
