On Monday, February 1st the weather crew predicted a HUGE snowstorm to start in the middle of the night and into Tuesday. Monday around 3:00 the school district called off school for the next day already and there wasn't even signs of a snow storm coming. I kept joking around that we'd probably wake up in the morning and there would just be a dusting of snow.
My sister-in-law was due to have her baby pretty much any day and they were scared of getting stuck in Aurora and not making it to GI to deliver so they asked if they could stay with us Monday night.
That evening we kept watching and watching and nothing...I even remember waking up in the middle of the night and still nothing. However, by golly it didn't let us down. It snowed and blowed and snowed and blowed. Tuesday we could barely see out of our windows as it was sticking to them and blowing so hard.
Needless to say it kept snowing so they ended up calling off school for Wednesday too.
On Wednesday we were finally able to get outside and play a little and scoop a few paths and brush off my brother's vehicle if baby decided to arrive.
Later that afternoon my brother's family decided to try to head back as they had to go to school the next day as teachers. However, we had another snow day on Thursday in Grand Island.
I can't believe we had three snow days. Yes, I'm bummed we don't have an Easter break now, but so many memories were created those three days.
Ahhhh, the joys of a corner lot. The sidewalks were so deep.
There was lots of snuggle time.
Avery giving the baby a checkup.
Of course we had to whip out the Super Nintendo and the Wii.
The kids all loved the extra cousin time.
Landon thought it was so fun to have a slumber party.
Not much else to do!
The snow was so white and pretty.
Adventuring out to go pick up Taylin at the doctor's office. Carissa had an appointment and asked if we could watch her. WOW, the roads were awful but I'm glad I got out so I knew what to expect when we went back to school on Friday.
We had the extra carseat in the car the entire time just in case baby Phillips decided to come and we needed to go get Taylin.
I decided to curl/spiral my hair one day just for the fun of it.
Who needs four wheel drive when you have a power wheel!
Kurts even made the kids a track.
The snow was so beautiful.
Grand Island had record numbers totaling 18.3 inches!
