Snow Day

Monday, January 22nd 2007

Finally, we got some damn snow!
And what do the children (young and old alike) want to do before there is even an inch sticking on the ground?

Around

They need to get their toys out and go zoom.

Can Lil fit?

Can Lil fit? Pleeeeaaaasssseee?????

Down

This went on for hours and we all have the chapped faces to prove it.

On a snow day, what’s better than yummy pot roast?

Pot Roast

I made Lindsay’s pot roast recipe - now a family favorite - in the new dutch oven that my sister gave us for Christmas.

Drying out

I baked some bread, thawed out the children & the snow clothes and we all sat down to a yummy-in-your-tummy feast.

Pot Roast Done

After dinner, they were at it again…

Night Snow Fun

This time I just took pictures. My butt was still frosty…

Blue

Peaceful.

Serene in the Snow

And the best part? No school today!


If you really love me, feed me in your reader!

You love me.  You really love me. Dontchya?

  • Oh Man that looks fun!!! We did not get snow here, just some sleet. The pictures look great!


  • LLB was out sledding for hours - it was great snow for that!! She’s out there now and it’s just 9am. She and the dog…

  • Oooh how FUN! Your home is like the most perfect winter wonderlandy place to frolic! I wanna come over and play at your house!

    I have to go through our super spinny backyard sledding fun yet - the snowballs hanging from the dogs butt seem to be outnumbering other shots on my memory card. :p


  • Sherry

    It does look like a winter wonderland!!
    I couldn’t find the recipe when I clicked on it??
    Have a great day with the kids off.


  • D

    I love pot roast… my family hates it. Sigh… Can I come over for left-overs?


  • You guys looked like you had a blast! My kids went out in the snow for about 15 min. then came in complaining it was too cold. sigh. Big babies ;-) HA-Ha! Thanks for the recipe! I’m going to try it tonight.


  • How fun! I love all of the pictures.

    I’m so jealous of your fireplace, it’s so big and cozy looking!


  • Awwww…recipe wasn’t there! find it…quick..you have to share!


  • That looks like fun. Please send snow here!!!!!!


  • Hate to be a kill-joy, but pulling a sled or tube with any motorized vehicle is illegal in our state. Law Breaker!
    I know you guys are careful though.


  • We played int he snow all day yesterday too. It was fun!


  • Glad y’all had such fun and filling food!


  • Oooooh! Fun!!
    Gorgeous pics!

    Schools closed because of the snow?


  • When I see pictures like that, it almost makes me forget how much I hate snow…

    That does look like a ton of fun


  • We never get that much snow. But it did warm up to 50 this weekend, AND the sun came out for the first time in a week. My little mole eyes had to stay scrunched up at first as they adjusted. AND it was warm enough and dry enough and not slippery so I could take down all my Christmas lights. Whew! Now I don’t feel so white trashy.

    That pot roast looks good. Will you please make one and ship it to me?


  • Your girls inherted their love of the snow from their Unga! As kids I would stay out for hours until there was no feeling left in my hands or feet! And we would look forward to hot chocolate and warming by the fire as our boots and gloves dryed on the furnace in the basement. We had some awesome hills! Hope more than 2 inches come the next storm so they can really have fun! Can you email me the recipe? I can’t open it . Love ya!


  • For some reason “Away in a Manger” comes to mind on reviewing those pix. Nicely did, Momma.


  • Damn, that’s a mighty fine fireplace you got going on there.


  • The perfect day!


  • That looks like so much fun! You told the perfect story with your pictures. I couldn’t open the recipe, either, and it looks delicious.


  • That looks like so much fun!
    What a wonderful Snow Day!
    Great pictures!
    Thank you for sharing them with us.
    Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    Nothing like fun and a warm meal with fresh bread.
    Home and hearth. That is living!

    Have a wonderful day!

  • Looks like you and your family finally had fun in the snow! I love the fireplace photo, it’s such a moment! Stay warm…


  • Are you as happy as I that we at least got a taste of winter? They started school here 2 hours late this morning. I have no idea why. The roads are clear and the temp was 37. How about up there?


  • These pictures remind me of a kid when my dad would pull the toboggan with our three wheeler. Fun, fun, fun until everyone gets cabin fever.
