The Myers Family: Valentine's Snow Day

So this last week was full of snow and valentines fun! Last Sunday we decorated Valentine sugar cookies-got to keep up the tradition. It did take us 2 whole days to pull it off but we had fun once we were finally ready. I braved taking all the kids to walmart and survived so maybe I can handle 4 after all! Thursday morning we woke up to 18 inches of snow! Everyone got the day off. It was even kind of powdery snow and made me feel kind of like I was home in Utah. It took grant 2 hours or so to dig out. Good thing we only have a walk way and a little sidewalk. We did have the car to dig out too. The neighbors and Grant worked together to get the cars out. The girls also had no school on Friday not really sure why but we had fun sledding and playing in the snow.
Alicia continues to eat and grow. Last night she even slept for 5 hours!
Grant is finally back at work in full swing and we are once again trying to figure out where we will be in six months or so. His fellowship ends at the end of summer so we are exploring our options and trying to make a plan-exciting but stressful too!
A few funny stories from the girls this week:
Emma: after school on wednesday Emma came running out saying "mommy no school tomorrow we are supposed to get a leg of snow". After a few minutes we figured out she meant a foot of snow!
Leah: She came running upstairs and asked "mommy I can't find my blowheads I think Becca ate them!" Apparently she meant the airheads she had gotten at walmart.
Becca: when she saw the snow she looked out the window and said "big snow, big problem" also the next day at bedtime I told her to climb up on the bed because it was time to go to sleep and she said "its 8 o'clock" We have her well trained already I guess!
