Snow Day

So about 5 days after the last bit of the big snow-plowed mound of snow melted, we have an even bigger mound today! It's about 12 inches and counting so far. Today only a high of 19*, but tomorrow's supposed to be high 37* and sunny. See, that's the difference between VA and MI winters..MI, it would be grey, black piles of snow until April. Here, not so much:)
So, now that I've got the weather report out of the way on to Hill Family Adventures. Well, the Girls just joined the Boys for their first "expeditioning" adventure. (Yes, I see now that that's not a word, but that's what Caleb and Leon call it.) Caleb loves when his dad takes him into the woods across the street (because the back yard woods aren't big enough now). They take along their "grub" (random candy and Oreos usually) and hike over the creek and up and down steep hills all while looking for "bear" tracks and whatever else seems interesting. Today, the girls went along...did I mention we have about 12-13 inches of snow right now? Well, we went across the street (with both dogs too!), climbed down a hill, over a creek, then up "Mt. Hill." WHEW!!! We made it to the top with much ado. Most 2 1/2 year old couldn't even fathom this feat and most parents of 2 1/2 year old wouldn't consider it either...but it was fun. Ask me tomorrow when I'm sore from carrying Em home on my shoulders. We took the long, flat way back and let the boys slip down Mt. Hill.
So, we're all back home, unthawing watching Snow White and now I must make dinner. *Side note* Does anyone else's husbands wear long underwear? (and really enjoy wearing them?) Long underwear as in the butt has a flap that buttons. Think "Old Man Tucker".. I'm thinking this should be unusual, yes?
Time to make the tea for father-daughter tea party :)
