Snowpocalypse 2026

 These seem to happen every year now... and I love it! This year was mostly ice...which meant really good ice-building blocks for castles and GREAT fast sledding ... and as always... lots of stew! 

We love getting snowed in and getting out in the snow with you both!

This year, the oven broke, so we improvised and made cornbread with the waffle maker!

We also took the snowed-in opportunity to teach you a new-to-you board game... Settlers of Catan!

So many memories! Only one kid almost sledding into traffic. Freeze-face hot tubbing; walks in the woods; cold kitties; lots of movies. Small, intimate family time only. And lots of warm hugs :)

It kind of is the best...now if only the internet would have gone out as well... but we still want power and heat...just no internet :)

Snowmageddon 22- the 2022 Snow Days!

IT SNOWED THIS WINTER TOO! Granted, it wasn't as long, and not as many people were without power, but it was 2 amazing days of snow, sledding, snow balls, rolling snow boulders up a hill, snow men... and SNOW WOMEN... snow hikes, and snow-mazement!

We were better prepared this year- Yaya bought you real snow boots and really good sleds. We had gloves and stew and a plan!

But there were still surpsies... like when we were walking to the sledding hill and we saw...just chilling next to the path...a bobcat! 

SLED AWAY!

I had so much fun getting snowed in with you guys again!

P.S. Mom doesn't love to go out in the snow, but she very, very much loves you and kept our home nice and warm, and bundled you up and dried you off, every time you returned from the snow. She was our snow angel.
