Winter Weather: Ice

Well, it is officially winter in Mid-Mo! Actually, I guess it's not technically winter for another week or so, but clearly the weather didn't get that memo! We've been hit with three rounds of winter weather in the last week and a half! The first one wasn't so bad, just a couple of inches of snow last Thursday afternoon. Not even enough to cancel school on Friday, though it did make the trip home pretty rough! Then, last Saturday night it iced all night long! Church was cancelled on Sunday, and we spent the day playing around and, of course I took lots of pictures... ice is no fun at all, but it sure does make for some neat pictures!

Truman decided he'd rather stay inside...

...and so did Elena!

Isabelle doesn't mind the cold at all... though her traction wasn't as good! It was pretty funny to watch her skid around the backyard!

A very angry pumpkin... yes, we're "those people" and we still haven't thrown away our jack o' lantern!Monday morning school was canceled, but I still got up to help Josh clear off his car. A screwdriver and a mallet, not the typical car clearing tools!
Look how deep the ice on the roof was!

Anyway, for the first round of bad winter weather, we emerged pretty much unscathed. We had fun staying home together and found out that our backyard is great for sledding on ice... though a bit dangerous with the whole privacy fence at the bottom of the hill thing! The ice is still hanging around, and the weather wasn't finished with us yet...
