Andrews Family

Ok, I am a little slow at getting things posted on my blog. Hopefully as time passes I will get better. We had some fun weather last week. The kids missed 2 days of school. It was very cold and icy Monday Jan26 and then Tuesday Jan 27 morning we got snow, or was it ice? Do you call it frozen snow? I could here it coming down in the morning, and when the kids woke up they were excited saying it snowed it snowed!! I told them no, it was ice, but they wanted to go out and play in it anyway. They got out the sleds and were sledding down our driveway, which isnt very long, but they would shoot out all the way across the street on the ice. It countinued to come down throughout the day. We got about 4-5 inches, I didnt actually go out and measure it. School was cancelled on Wednesday Jan 28 as well. Alyssa went with some friends to go sledding at a pond down the street and got sunburned!! She forgot that even though it is cold you can still get burned, not to mention the reflection from the snow. We had two nice relaxing days, as all their other activities were cancelled as well. I didnt get around to getting pictures til Thursday after some of it had melted. But it was the most white we have seen in a long time. Our back patio turned into a giant thick sheet of us and because it is shaded for a lot of the day is still icy. We couldnt even get the back screen door open for a few days. The kids were sad they had to go back to school on Thursday.
