Snow + Trampoline

 


We got a few inches of snow the other day..... school was delayed a few hours. If we even get a dusting of snow school is delayed. The first time I took Jackson in on time only to see sign out front saying it was delayed. Huh! I was totally surprised. It hadn't even occured to me that school might be starting late - there was hardly any snow!! Now I know better - if it snows AT ALL here I need to check the schedule :)
We have a really steep driveway - those few inches of snow made it VERY slick. We all slid down it in our cars. That's a little nervewracking when the street is right at the bottom and you know you are going to slide into it. We didn't have a snow shovel or anything apparently it never made it in the move..... oh well. After we got a shovel and some salt the driveway was much better. Thanks Matt!
We also got the trampoline all put together. The kids have loved it. They play outside a lot more even in this cold weather. It was below freezing for over a week straight I think. We built a sandbox but before we got the sand put in it - it was frozen solid in the bags! We have so many projects to do and Matt has been so great about getting things ready for the kids in the backyard. Next up is the swing set but we havn't found the swings or bolts yet :)
We have a little hill in our backyard that the kids love to sled on. I will have to get some video up of that.
These pics were taken the same day as Maggie's Christmas program.... that's why she has a red 'rudolph' sticker on her nose.
