can you believe it? another snow today!!! i don't think i've ever seen this much snow in one season! i was afraid we were going to have school yesterday because when i went to bed thursday night, it hadn't been canceled. at 6:00 a.m. though, my phone rang and i knew it was good news!
so i went back to sleep for a while, and then stayed in my jammies all day long!
even the doggies enjoyed the lazy snow day!
first we tried behind the church, but that hill wasn't steep enough either. the snow was deep enough to cover the asphalt, though, and daryl managed to drive off of it and get the car stuck for a while! he and spencer had to push it while manned the wheel!we ended up at the soccer fields just down the road from the church. daryl had driven by there earlier, and he said the place was packed with sledders. but when we were there, only a few families were sledding.
colby was the first one to go! he had the fastest sled, and it didn't take long for him to reach the bottom of the hill!
there many wipeouts at first! daryl and spencer had the hardest time staying upright! colby crashed once and rolled right in front of another sledder and took him out, too! it was awesome!
after watching the boys for a while, i couldn't stand it any longer. they were having way too much fun without me! so i handed the camera off to daryl and trekked up the hill for my ride. i gave spencer specific instructions NOT to give me a push until i was completely settled on the sled. i had ONE cheek on my sled, and the next thing i knew he shoved me and off i went! i screamed the whole way down while snow went up my back above the one cheek i was sliding on!
this is what i looked like when i finally came to a stop at the bottom! of course i wasn't mad at spencer because i had too much fun going down!
spencer got tired of waiting for colby to bring the sleds up the hill, so he sat down at the top and waited....
susan put out bird seed yesterday hoping to attract some cardinals, and this evening as i was cooking dinner, i saw one! i grabbed my camera and had to zoom in through the blinds to get this picture. i know it's not the greatest photography ever, but i still like it! the cardinal is beautiful!
