Blizzard 2016:)

Thursday night it started snowing/sleeting and the kids(and M and I) were excited to see some white stuff!!  Friday morning the kids attempted to play in it, but between sleet/ice coming down and the wind whipping, it wasn't very much fun!  We had our neighbors over for drinks and then the dads took the kids down to try out sledding for a bit!  It was sooo cold!  They came back ready for some hot chocolate!

This was insane!!!

And so was this!  No milk, bread, chips or bacon!  Comfort foods??:)

Covering her face to keep from being pelted with ice!

Friday night we got some nice, powdery snow for a grand snow fall total of about 8 inches!  Woohoo!!!  Now this was some stuff we could play in!  We were out early at the front of the neighborhood sledding on Saturday morning:)  After a couple of hours, we decided it was time to warm up and get some lunch!  We spent the afternoon by the fire, drinking warm stuff, playing board games and watching TV.  M took the kids out in the late afternoon for one more sledding adventure, but I opted to stay in the warm house this time!:)

By today, the snow had turned to ice and we were now able to get out of the house!  We met Grandpa, who was travelling from NC back to Atlanta, for lunch and then S and I spent the rest of the afternoon at the doc-in-a-box(we waited 3 hours and spent a total of 4 hours there!!!!)!  She had started running a low grade fever on Saturday and since she still has the cough that started about a month ago with her fever virus, I wanted to make sure it had not gone to her ears or lungs!!  She was clear, and honestly felt fine by the time we actually saw the doctor - of course!

The snow was fun, but we are all about ready for normalcy again!!
