Snow Day at The Parrish House!!

This turned out to be a big one! We are trapped at home! See how steep my drive is? No way out! We are just staying warm and catching up on some down time. Don't get much of that here!
Here are my four the day before it snowed. I let the two big ones go to friends' houses, knowing they would get snowed in there. I am not sure when they will be home now!
So...there were just two to take pics of in the snow. They had a blast. We were unable to make a SnowGor (as Avery says) because the snow was covered in a sheet of ice. It would not roll.


It also made the Snow Angels have to work harder :)




Alex had a "Wardrobe Malfunction".

Then came the sledding!








I love the excitement on Avery's face here. She was running and I got her in the air! Too cute.
We tried to slide on everything we could find. Alex was really laughing at me trying to ride down the hill on the teeter totter!

The snowballs hurt because of the ice, so Alex had a shield. We had to create a twist on snowball fights!





Such a fun time...just hanging together!






What is a day in the snow without hot cocoa with mini "smarshmallows"?

Hope you all have a great week! Stay warm....wherever you are! :)

Hey, Tracy, those were the sweetest pictures! We also tried to build a snowman, but we couldn't get it to work either, and Alayna was sad...
I've really enjoyed it, but Jason's trying to get to work today, so I'm no longer enjoying it. Just worried.
Lots of love and hope your big two are having fun at their friends' houses, I'm sure they are!

I haven't seen a single snow gor or boy for that matter. Continue to enjoy your downtime. It might last another day or so.
