Spring Break

During Spring Break, Scott's mom and sister came to visit. While they were here we went to Ft. Monroe before it closes.

There was a beach too. The girls LOVED this part.

the girls play in the sand.

Love this picture. Even if the sun and wind were

a problem.

They didn't think that the water was cold, but I
did!

KA loves these little things. See how bad the wind
was!!

SNOW 2010 Part 3

Monday, February 1st was a SNOW DAY!!! The girls got to stay home from school. Scott got a 2 hour delay. We missed him and finally ventured out after lunch. The sun was out and so it wasn't as cold. We walked back to the hill across from the airport.


Frosty lost his face and buttons!!


Upclose


Sweet sisters!


How are we supposed to go down since Daddy isn't
here to pull us. Me: "Roll down it!"


Rolling.....

Rolling....

Rolling.....

And more rolling. Emily finally talked me into

rolling down it!!!! I don't have pictures or a video
of that, but do have a video of the girls going down

the hill!!

Aren't they cute!

We finally let KA play in the snow on the bird bath!

She made a castle!

KA and Samantha all cozy.

Isn't she cute all cuddled up and hugging my arm?!

SNOW 2010 Part 2

Sat. late night it started snowing more. I think it snowed a little on and off through out the night. So when we woke up Sunday morning we had a little more snow. Scott had to go to the church, they had the 9:15 and 11:00 service, but no ABF, so the girls and I didn't go to church. Scott went out and cleaned his truck off and took pictures of what had fallen over night. On Sat. we measured 7" of snow in the back of Scott's truck and some drifts of 10". This is what he measured on Sunday morning.......

Back of the truck! 4 more inches!!

This was the only drift that measured 18 inches. It

was in our front flower bed...

Where the 18" drift was.

Back of the truck from the playroom window.

We didn't get out in the snow until after lunch when Scott got home from church. The snow was now wet enough for us to make a snowman!!! So that was our project...

KA making the head!

Scott making the bottom of the snowman. I made

the middle section, but didn't get any pics.

Head.

Putting his head on top.

Smoothing out the snowman.

Finished snowman.

The girls holding Frosty's had. This is the name
KA choose. It is a boy because Daddy needed
another male around :-)

Looking at the bird footprints and Samantha's
pawprints. Scott put her out the back door thinking
that she wouldn't like it, but we think she did, she
was wanting to run, but Scott brought her in quickly
we are not too sure if she would come back or not.

Our neighbor let us borrow their flat shovel and
snow shovel to clean our driveway off.

I helped too! Lots of work!

Later that afternoon we found out that school was cancelled for Monday (today)!!! Daddy got to go in at 10am. This has been so much fun having snow. I am sure that in a few more days I am going to be tired of it!

SNOW 2010

First off, there are TONS of pictures!!! Secondly, these are mostly pics that I put on FB (a few new). When I first woke up at 4:30 am on Saturday, January 30th, I was disappointed. We had expected there to be tons of snow when we woke up and it was only a dusting of snow on the ground and was not snowing at the time. So, we went back to sleep. When we woke up at 7 am there was at least 2 inches of snow on the ground!! We were all so excited. It was coming down in small flakes, but tons of it! It pretty much snowed ALL day long! I have never seen this much snow. By evening there was 7" of snow, with 10" drifts. It had stopped snowing by evening. But when we went to bed, Scott said it had started snowing again. I will finish that in another post...


Here are some pictures from the day (did I mention there are a TON!):



Samantha watching out the window and wondering
what all that white stuff is.



Emily and Sami all snuggled up and keeping warm.

11:15 am. This is pretty much how it stayed on the

bird bath. It didn't get much higher.

Ready to go outside. And yes, KA's jacket got

zipped and hood put on before going out! We

went and bought them rainboots (all we could

find) on Friday. They have on 3 layers of clothing!

Plus their jacket is a 3-in-1 jacket.

Let's go.... Look at her feet sinking into the snow!

Always have to make a snow angel!!

Em's angel.

KA wanted to eat some snow. I was going to

make snow ice cream, but we didn't have any

vanilla :-(


Monkey See, Monkey Do

KA making a snow castle!!! The snow was too

dry to make a snowman.

Front of the house.

My feet print. Just showing how deep it is.

Warming up with hot chocolate and a snack.

KA warming up!

2nd time out pictures:

Another footprint to show how deep.

this one was on the side of the house where

the drifts were deeper.

Who is that masked man?

I have on at least 6 sweatshirt/long sleeve/ jackets!!

And I had on pj flannel pants, jeans, and sweatpants.

That is why I look like the Pillsbury dough boy!!!

This is where KA was keeping her snowballs for

the snowball fight.

Mommy's snow castle.

Cheese!

This is down the street from us and across the

street from the airport.

We don't have any kind of snowboards, so

Daddy just pulled them down (only once each

the wind was really bad away from all the houses).

Em's turn!

See those red cheeks!

Heading back home to go warm up.
