The girls were excited to hear that snow was coming. And of course in Georgia that usually means ice as well. This time, however, it was mostly ice and we were trapped at home for several days.
The girls got some fun sledding time in.
Since the roads were completely iced over they were able to sled down the street as well.
It was so slick!
They did manage to find enough snow to make their snowman again.
This was the top of our driveway a few days after the ice came through. Since we don't get much sun at this part of our driveway it was not melting. Marc finally had to get to work, so he broke up a bunch of ice and dumped some hot water on a few spots. He cleared it enough to get down and to work for a few hours.
Kayla and I worked for on the ice while he was on his way home. We knew he could slide down the driveway a little to get out, but there was no way the wheels would spin on the ice right outside of his garage. It was pretty fun breaking it apart.
This was about day 4 of being iced in and the ice was still about 1/2" in some places.
So what exactly do you do when you are stuck inside? Well since we are at The King's Academy there was still work to be done. Thankfully every day it was enough to give us something to fill the morning with, but shortened enough that we could enjoy this time together.
We also worked for HOURS on their lego town. Last summer we had a large gathering at our house and a couple of girls decided to stand on their tables and kick everything apart. We finally had some time to sit down and work on putting it all back together. It was a labor of love... or at least it was a labor of something. Lesson learned for us: lock the bedroom doors because you never know how some people may choose to behave. :)
And then it was back to life as usual. The fire was going all day, each day that we were home. We enjoyed lots of time in our pajamas and time together as a family. I kind of like these crazy weather days as long as we are safe and healthy.
