Snow Fun

You seen our snow we got yesterday and the kids and I were getting Cabin Fever and we decided we were going outside to have some fun...and boy did we. The cold outside wasn't as bad as the day before, but still was cold. I finally let them have a little fun and I went in to make them some hot chocolate to warm those little bodies up. They had so much fun as you can see.




sorry our dog Jackson loves to BARK! Drives me crazy somedays! HA

Hannah and Jackson got in on the fun too! They love the snow!

Hannah loved it so much she was eating it! Ha!

our big snow drift coming around to the porch

Hope you enjoyed our fun in the snow! Have a great day!

Winter Weather and Valentine's

Well it finally arrived here yes I'm talking about the snow, we have not had snow this winter here in Oklahoma, but just a trace. Its so beautiful to look at but not so good to go out in, its a blizzard out there, with 7 degrees very fridgid outside so we are all stuck inside. The kids and I decided we would make their teachers Valentine's card today. I got inspired from Busy Bee Kids Crafts dot com.  They have more fun craft ideas for kids for every season and age. 

Hannah's looking at the snow at the front door, our door is stuck from the drifting snow, but it found its way in though.

Hope you are all having a great week but it looks like we are stuck inside for the rest of the week and that means more crafts to keep the kids busy.

recap of winter storm

We had a winter storm come through Oklahoma on wednesday night thru Friday, we had rain, ice, sleet, snow and lots of it. Its so pretty to see all of the white outside, I love it when its like this. I wanted it to snow this year and sure enough it did twice once on xmas eve and now. We have been out of school since Thursday and the kids are loving it. On the other hand I have been sick, and trying to stay in where its warm.

This is cute when we woke up on Thursday morning the girls and I saw this on their window in their bedroom, someone loves the girls HA!

recap of tonight in the storm

Here are a few pics of the outside I took this afternoon, while it was still sleeting.

This is a huge tree beside our home.

This is not the best picture but they were eating their muffins and hot cocoa!

Yummy! It was good too!

And Last but not least here's our hot dinner beans, corn bread and fried potatoes! Just the thing to warm and fill our bodies up!

Icy Mess

When we all woke up the dog want to go play outside in the sleet and ice. He loved it as you can see he was running around the backyard.

At first he didn't know what was outside but when he realized he was having fun!


I opened our front door and saw this! WOW! I glad we didn't go to school in this mess.

We are in for an ice storm up through today! Its not showing to have a huge amount but still enough to close schools down. The kids and I (I work at our public school) are out of school but my poor husband had to drive on in to work. When he was warming the van up this morning it was coming down pretty good of sleet, so maybe that will help out a little on the road for him. Oh, God please be with him today get him to work and back home safely! I don't care for the ice I just wish it would snow! I guess it will be a day of playing board games and watching tv, since its too icy outside.
