Well we have the great blizzard of 2011 here in Arkansas! Last week we got a pretty good round of ice and snow and then we had a big surprise while we were sleeping last night of about 2 feet!!!! Now keep in mind here that the weather forecast had predicted 4-6 inches, so when you are expecting 4-6 and you wake up to almost 2 foot of snow that is a SHOCKER!!!! It is beautiful and we have loved watching it snow all day! I haven't seen a snow like this.........well maybe ever! We knew we had to get out in it, if nothing else to just pictures of the boys in it! So that we did! With that being said here are a few things my family has enjoyed on our MANY snow days we have had this winter.....................................................
Lounge in front of the t.v. watching Little Rascals, Cars, and anything that is super entertaining to a 3 year old and 8 year old!
Make homemade snow ice cream and eat it for lunch!!! YUMMY!!!!
Bury our dog in the snow! 
Give momma some lovins!!!
Relax with daddy!
Make Valentines for those we love:)
Bake homemade muffins!!!! and of course make the house smell super yummy!
Snuggle with those you love!
Muffins weren't enough so bake some pies!
Lounge and growl at your momma while she takes your picture. Notice laptop, Uno cards, and tv is going on all at the same time!
Try out new soup recipes! This one is chicken and potato gnocchi....copycat of a soup at Olive Garden! Also made Zuppa Toscano and they were both delicious!!!
Games! Of course!!!
and puzzles!!!
and more games!
Not to be forgotten Daddy pulling us on the sled behind the 4wheeler!It has been a fun winter to say the least! Yes we will have to make up quite a few days of school and yes it has gotten us off our schedule of sports and extra curricular activities, but it has been worth it!! To me it is God's way of saying SLOW DOWN enjoy life spend time together without having to go anywhere. Spend time at home and enjoy your family. So we listened and we have enjoyed every minute of it!!! Thank you God for this beautiful amazing gift you have given us, some of your finest work!!!! Seize the day!!!!

Jill, I came over from Jannie's blog and want to tell you we are praying for your family. Blogging or journaling will be good for you both, to let the feelings pour out. You have a beautiful family, sending love and hugs, praying for strength and healing.
