We woke up Sunday morning to a world of white!! There were about 6 inches of snow! If we thought the kids were excited with the Skiff on Friday...you should have seen them today! It was like Christmas - a few of the younger kids even asked "Is today Christmas?" We had to remind them, it hasn't even been Thanksgiving yet, we don't have our Christmas Tree up, our holiday decorations, etc. They laughed and then continued playing in their new found winter weather toys. We had fun playing in the white stuff from early morning until late in the evening. We had snowball fights, sled rides, snow angels, etc. In the midst of play, Clay and the boys even did their good deed for the day....they not only shoveled our driveway, but 3 of our neighbors' driveways too! Yeah, they are going to feel that tomorrow! Our neighbors are all older couples, so it was a great service that the Ward men provided today! Good job boys. When asked, Clay said, "We couldn't go to church today (it was cancelled due to weather), but we can still do service and help others." That is my man!
When the driveway was finished, CJ suggested, "Why don't we make a snow fort with all the extra snow we just shoveled off the driveway?" So, in the latter part of the day, we did just that. We constructed a snow fort in our front yard with all the snow from the driveway! We finished just as the sun was going down. School is already cancelled for tomorrow! So, depending on Tuesday's weather, the kids may be out of school ALL week long (Already out Wed-Fri for the Thanksgiving holiday)!
