The Blizzard

That is right we just got over a blizzard here in Amarillo.  Last Monday morning, a week ago, we got 19 inches of snow.  There was terrible wind causes white out conditions and snow drifts up to 6ft in some areas and no snow in others.  It was crazy!  

The kids were out of school for 2 days, which never happens here.  However, they had to pull the snowplows off the roads a couple of times on Monday, because they could not see.  

My kids have taken full advantage of the snow however.  We have played in the snow just about every single day, which was fun at first.  Now the snow is almost totally gone, expect for areas where they had to pile it high beside the roads.  Crazy how a week ago, kids were out of school, because of 19 inches of snow and today is is almost 60 degrees and beautiful out.

Larry kept going outside shoveling off and on during the day, so when we were able to get out, we would not have a 4ft snow drifted up against our garage

Do I need to say anything at all...so cute

We went to our neighbors and went sledding in the front yard.  Yes, that is how much snow we had
Whit Thoennes decided to block the boys from sledding

Super Cool Mom!
My neighbor, Amy Thoennes, is going to kill me for this, but oh well.  We both went sledding, but I had the camera.
