Iced In

School is cancelled today and it's not looking good for the rest of the week - lots of super cold temperatures and more chances for snow and ice.  The roads are horrible - sheets of ice.  As long as we keep power, I'll try not to complain too much :)

I took the boys out in the 1 to 2 inches of sleet yesterday.  Now all that sleet has frozen together into solid blocks of ice, but yesterday you could still crunch around in it.

Carter got to wear the new ski pants I had gotten him before everyone in town was scrambling to find some for our predicted several inches of snow!

Everything is coated in ice from the freezing rain we got for awhile.

Even the side of the house (notice how shiny the bricks are?) ...

We only played about 20 minutes because the boys were getting soaked (it was raining while we were out ... and then freezing).  But at least we got out for a few minutes - we are not good with being housebound.  We are on the go all the time and start going a little crazy when cooped up too long!
