What are the odds of southcentral Kentucky getting another historic snow; two winters in a row. This time around, we measured over a foot of snow. Yes, that's right, a foot of snow. Watching that much snow fall is truly a spectacular sight. I even videoed several seconds of the snow, as it was falling, just to remember how it sounded. We were totally prepared and had plenty of milk, bread, and soup on hand to enjoy our snowed-in days.
The kids couldn't wait to play outside and since I'm extremely pregnant, I stood on the porch and watched Justin play with the kids. I helped reapply mittens and took lots of pictures and loved watching their little faces light up with excitement.
A snowball fight occupied a great deal of their outside play this year. Hearing Hadley's squeals as she would throw a snowball and take off running the other way to dodge Daddy's payback was just priceless.
Justin worked for a hours shoveling a path for our van to eventually be able to leave the driveway. He bit the dust a few times while he was working and said it was seriously hard work.
Our snow maniacs really enjoyed life-sized icicles this year. Canaan wanted to use his as a sword but Hadley wasn't super in to that sort of play.
Just like last year, I left a sheet in our front room where Justin and the kids would strip off all the layers of wet clothes, to let them dry before heading out again. We had enough clothes to clothe a community, I do believe. We loved having snow cream as late night dessert, after our soup suppers. We loved every minute of our winter stay-cation and wonder if next year will bring us yet another historic snow. If not, it has sure been fun while it lasted!
