Snow Day!

We have had so much snow in Arkansas this year! All the locals have assured us that this is not the norm and we just happened to move here the coldest winter in 10 years. I hope they are right! Back in January, we were heading back to Arkansas one Sunday from Birmingham where we had been to a wedding over the weekend. We knew the snow was coming (everyone was acting as if the Apocalypse was near), so we left Birmingham bright and early to beat the storm. We pulled into town just as the snow and ice began falling from the sky. Right when we got home, Sipsey wanted to play in the snow immediately.

The next day, schools were closed, as was Ben's work. Ben's coworker invited us over (I stayed home under the covers) to play in even more snow that fell overnight. They had a snowsuit just Sipsey's size to keep her warm and dry.

This is how we "sled" in the country! I have never seen so many four wheelers hauling people through the snow. Much different from Birmingham! Ben said Sipsey loved it!

Then everyone warmed up inside with the Wii!

No idea what is going on here but I'm pretty sure Sipsey inherited it.

I LOVE IT! So funny! Looks like she had a blast! I think it's a guy thing about being all over the place (floor) while playing the Wii. Matthew drives me crazy doing that same thing!

Snow is so fun for kids. I love the one where she is looks like she is about to do a forward roll in the snow. I also love the last one where we can see where Sipsey gets her moves, ha ha.
