Winter Fun - Maybe Not!

Well, they were predicting snow, and just under predicted a bit. We had 14 inches! Mackensey enjoyed the snow for a little while. It was wet and deep and hard to sled on. I talked her into a snow angel.
Conor said he officially hates snow after spending hours (literally) of digging out our driveway and cars. He was not able to sled due to his knee and wondered how he could use the knee to his advantage to get out of shoveling but no such luck.
Our power went off at 2:00 in the morning and did not come back on until 2:00 in the afternoon. Thank goodness for the fireplace or we would have been freezing! I boiled hot water on the stove to make hot chocolate. Mackensey said, "This is just like the pioneer days!" I told her that this is not even close. Both kids were quite annoyed that they had a snow day from school but no tv or computers. My poor children - I remember Scott and I out sledding for hours (or so it seemed). I remember sledding down into the woods banging into trees. Oh those were the days!!!!!
