We've been having some snow storms here this week (surprise, surprise). But to tell you how cold it has been, Wednesday morning after a wintery-mix storm it was
-21 with wind chill and the rain had frozen our garage door shut. Dan now teaches seminary (religion for the teenagers) for church every weekday morning and has to leave by 5:30am. So that day it had to be canceled and Dan had his work schedule for him and his employees delayed 2 hours. By the time he had to go to work, thankfully the garage door finally popped open. It really popped! Ours is the kind with 4-5 different sections, so as the door lifted, the sections popped as it broke the ice between them. I'm glad I had no reason to leave the house that day! The weathermen anticipated a decrease in temperature (as if it wasn't cold enough) to a possible
-40 by the evening. YOWSA! Not a day to be outside!Can you find Dan??
There he is!
Today, we thought we'd have some fun with the boys while we shoveled our driveway. We made snow angels, and a sort of snowman (Elliott would rather scoop the snow out of the creation and throw it. I knew it was a lost cause.), played snow soccer, and then when Dan was pooped, he layed down and we buried him. What a nice way to cool off.

It's post's like these that make me happy that I do not live in the snow!! BURRRRRRR! Althought it is fun to play in.
Ahhhh, cute pics. I can't say I'm envious of the snow though. I really don't like to be cold. It is very pretty though and it looks like the kids love it!
I know what you know by cold and that whole frozen door thing. Our front door was frozen shut (the screen door that is) and we had to kick it several times to get out of the house. Being burried in snow would probably be a lot cleaner than by sand. We'll have to try it with Chris :)
Cute- looks like a great way to get the boys tired out for a nap! Freezing though- good thing you didn't have to go anywhere!
I don't miss the snow at all. But I love to see pictures of it so I can imagine how fun it is and be warm at the same time!
