What a BEAUTIFUL long weekend we just had – sunny and 72 degrees in January! Even crazier is that we were covered in ice one week ago! Yep, last Friday the kids didn’t have school because of the impending winter weather. Now, nothing started falling until Friday night but when it started, it stuck! We woke up Saturday morning to 16 degree temps and everything covered in ice. Unfortunately it was just ice – no snow at all – so not a lot of fun for the kids. That didn’t stop them from wanting to get out and at least try to play in it…
It was bitterly cold. I think it was in the low 20s when we were out there playing. I used to live in NYC and could handle some majorly cold weather but I guess my bones are too Southern now because it was almost more than I could stand! It didn’t seem to bother the boys at all…they stayed out there forever trying to dig holes in the ice!
I love these pics of Spence…
and I really love this picture of Maxwell. If you zoom in you can even see his breath in the sunshine…
All in all the ice was fun, not as much fun as snow but we’ll take it. Of course, my favorite part was definitely this….
The first day of ice was fun…by the second day we were all going a little stir crazy! More to come tomorrow…
Brrrrrrr!
A little ice and snow is fun – better if it doesn’t last long!
