Winter Wonderland

So it snowed again a few weeks ago.  It started on a Tuesday but didn't stick too much.  Early Wednesday morning it started up again and this time it stuck around for a while.  

There was no way to get any school accomplished with our yard looking like a winter wonderland so I gave up and everyone spent the day outside sledding.  

We made snow cream, home made butter (not snow related but just wanted to give it a try) and enjoyed a delicious hot meal that had cooked all day in the crock pot. 

 Mr. Clark was off of work for three whole days and we enjoyed every minute of it.  It was kind of sad when the snow started to melt and we had to get back to "real" life (you know - school, grocery shopping, laundry, etc.)

Just Because...

They are so dang cute and I know you love looking at them just as much as I do!

These pictures were taken the day before my last post.  It was a spring like day and we opened the windows to air out the house.  The kids wore tee-shirts and played outside with side walk chalk.  

Then the next day it snowed and we were bundled up like Eskimo's!  The weather in South Carolina has been temperamental to say the least.

My gosh these children of mine are changing and growing daily and I don't feel like I can keep up.  One thing is for sure that they are gorgeous!

Snow

 The first snow of 2014 came on a freezing cold Tuesday afternoon.  I had spent the morning taking Sammy to the doctor (101.8* fever --> double ear infection) and getting his prescription filled.  After we left the doctor my Mom told me it was snowing.  By the time we got up the mountain to get Hannah & Amos, it was sticking.  The doctor recommended that Sammy not play outside in the snow but how do you tell a six year old boy that he can't enjoy a snow day?!?

This was Amos' first real snow.  I know we had that dusting last year but I don't really count that.  He loved it.  He wanted to walk in it by himself, unassisted.  And he was not happy when I'd had enough and was ready to go back inside. 

Hopefully he'll get another chance to play in it tomorrow.  The forecasters are calling for ice & snow for the next few days.  Hope you have your bread, milk & eggs!
