Maryland Blizzard 2016

At the end of January we had a blizzard here in Maryland.  We had plenty of time to prepare for being snowed in and our only worries were losing power and Eric having to drive in to work.  Luckily we never lost power and even though Eric was on call he was able to stay home Saturday and Sunday and most of the day Monday with us.  This was great considering the boys were machines playing outside in the snow and mommy maybe would have lasted about 30 minutes.  :)  We had lots of fun family time over the weekend with daddy.  The boys missed a whole week of school but I tried to keep them entertained and we were able to drive out of the neighborhood by Tuesday.  Here are some pics and a video from our Blizzard week...

The boys are ready!
Saturday was very cold and windy but it didn't seem to bother the boys
Linc was a maniac

Sunday was sunny and much warmer and the plows had created some awesome snow mountains to climb.

Linc was having a blast!
Plenty of time for lego building
The big boys played this new football game a total of 21 times.  Hayden was counting.  :)
On Monday, Eric drove me to the gym in his truck so I could get some energy out.  The boys sled on a nearby hill.
And snacked
Later in the week we broke out some paint and painted wooden letters for the boys' rooms

Hayden was so proud of his lego guy
Shirtless play doh was also a big hit.
