Snow Magetton 2022

Once again Jakob left for a business trip and KC decided to throw down some freak weather. Last month Jakob too the company jet to a meeting and they had to drive two hours out of town because the wind here was so crazy. It was terrifying having him travel through that. I was so relieved when he got home. This time, snowmagatton.

Usually when we hear we're getting 4-8 inches of snow in KC we say, "I'll believe it when I see it." This time they weren't playing around. It dumped and it dumped HARD!!!!

Those are the bushes outside of our house completely covered in snow. We got close to a foot of snow. Naturally this completely shut down all of the airports leaving Jakob stranded in Alabama.

They decided to try and drive to Georgia to get a flight in there but quickly realized they were shutting down all flights. So they drove the 13 hours home.

 

 The snow stopped as fast as it had started so I decided to head out and shovel the driveway so that Jakob could get in. Nothing like a good ol Canadian work out. My back hurt so good the next few days! 

And he's home!!! Thank heavens. He rolled in at 3:00 in the morning. I was so dang happy to have him home!

 We couldn't let all of this snow go to waste. While i shoveled yesterday the kids played and squished all of the snow so it wasn't going to work for igloo's but we could absolutely go tobogganing. 

Snow is magical! 

I mean look at those smiling faces!!

I love a baby in a snow suit.

It was a great storm and once Jakob was home, my heart was so dang happy! This also kicked off the start of a six day long weekend due to snow days. The kids haven't had much school this year so far.

Snow Day

 

We got word that snow was coming and I had my fingers crossed it would be enough for an igloo. I was sorely mistaken but we tried anyways. I froze some blocks as windows and they came out beautifully!!

 

So so dreamy.

Well first there wasn't enough snow and it wasn't sticky enough. We only had one day because the heat was coming the next day. Needless to say, it was a fail. 

The windows worked really well. I can't wait to try again next year.

 We made snow ice cream which was fun. The kids really enjoyed it.

Oh snow days, I love you!

I feel like January was a complete wash of a month. A false start to the year. I feel like with CoCo and all the crazy this month brought that I really needed a do over. Alas, time does not work that way, but here is a wrap up of a very slow and lsightly sad/ pathetic month. Perhaps I will be a bit more on the ball for February (I typed this is March spoiler alert....I did not get on the ball.)

Baby snuggles are the best! even if he's not really a "baby" anymore.

A oh-its-past-chirtsmas-but-we're-doing-this-puzzle-anyways puzzle.

Quick and easy puzzles are the best. This one was adorable!

The Burg's called and said they were in town and wanted to drop off some cookies. they were visiting from Austin and we ended up spending the rest of the evening with them. So great to catch up!

0mn1cron was spreading the world (Coco variant) and churhc on Sunday was sparse. Little did I know that I would start showing symptoms that evening. I felt completely fine at church. 

E has been eying this Ivy City Co dress for quote awhile so I got us matching ones for Christmas. She was pretty thrilled. I love matching with my mini. 

 

 Now we need to wear them to Harry Potter World. 

Feeling pretty.

While I was down and out, E made dinner. I taught her hwo to make Chicken Noodle Soup and it turned out fabulously!

Making cookies from her cookbook with Roo. She is one patient sister!

Duke finished his build!! It took him awhile but he did it all himself and I am so dang proud of him!

I challenged E to make different food out of playdoh. I thought I stumped her with soup. Nope, she delivered!

Cheesing with this babe.

WE had some snow and the kids played! It made my heart so happy. Here is Baby Bob.

And Winky.

Roo found boots and a backpack and he was alll sorts of excited to go to school with the kids. Not yet little man, not yet.

This is why Roo isn't allowed to help me with dinner. He has his own pot and is slurping up the water then spitting it back into the pot. Oh sweet mercy this boy.

Just your typical shopping cart ride. 

Packing Peanut fun.

A super fun craft at Wonderscope. You pick out three animals and then turn them into an animal. The girl there was a wonderful cartoonist, E loved this station.

Alright February, we have big plans for you. Starting a renovation, Valentines week and E's birthday. It's going to be busy but hopefully we'll get a lot done. (Spoiler alert, we got some things done.)
