Winter Storm 2010

After all the hype about the weather and 'guessing' if we would get even a dusting, it finally came. The kids were SO excited to see the ground covered in white. They would've been out at 8:00 am if I would've let them, but I figured w/ that big 1/2 inch of snow on the ground we wouldn't be going anywhere for at least 2 days....and it was 3! We played w/ our neighbors down the street and the kids used their sleds to go down their hilly driveway over and over and over again. There were a few spills into the nearby ditch, but fortunately everyone bounced back ok! Saturday night I pulled the kids around the block on the road....which was covered in ice. It was so much fun and great exercise. Fortunately by Sunday it was still pretty icy so we got to do it all over again. It's always so nice to get at least a little 'wintry mix' so the kids can play in it. Now I hope for no more so we don't lose any spring days. We are ready for shorts and flip flops at the Wilson house!
