February Snowmageddon

The night of Gala, it was supposed to start snowing. By the time we got home (pretty late) the temperature had dropped and flurries were starting! Little did we know that the snow would keep dumping for the next TWO weeks! School was canceled and they told the students to just keep up with the lectures online. That meant Sam studied at home most days and my students only came if they were able to get out of their driveways. It was a QUIET two weeks, that's for sure! But we had enough food here at home for me to stay busy cooking great meals and the kids were pretty content just to play at home. I can't even count how many times it snowed. Some days it just seemed to never stop! I guess we got ALL of winter in these 2 weeks. Ha! Anyways, here are some pictures from the rest February spent here at home! lol..

Just the beginning!
 Sam said there was too much ice to make a snowman they opted for Ivy's name, lol:
 The next morning.. A little more:
 Snow started packing better so they tried their hand at an igloo, lol:
 This was the next round of snow, a couple days later. CRAZY cold:
 Fun with play-do and toothpicks (left). AND great night for our favorite enchilada stacks:
 
10 inches total.. But I think there was a day that 1-2 inches had melted away so I'm sure overall it was more:
 In her own little world, hehe:
 The sun!!!
A few days later and after much of the first snowfalls had melted, we got dumped on again!
 Sam took the kids to the park a day or two later. I don't think they care how cold it is:
Had lots of warm baths after our playtime in the snow so many times (those are combs in the water. not sure why they were their favorite toys that day, lol):
