Not much snow, but fun anyway! (pictures)

We didn't really get 4 to 6 inches of snow here on Tuesday like Ma told you was in the forecast. Instead we got mostly freezing rain and ice.

Since I had planned to take a day off from work already, we decided to still go out and play in the snow / ice like we had planned. So after Ma fixed a wonderful breakfast for us, we all trudged out in the weather, which by now was rain.

The girls discovered that the sledding was really good due to all that ice.

They made it look like so much fun that I had to give it a try.

Then even Ma got into the act. She can really fly on a sled!

She tried pulling Laura to help her gain more speed, but it was a bit too icy to run in.

It was probably best not to get the girls going much faster because our hill isn't that long. Stopping is usually the hard part. If we sled down the back part, we run into the woods. If we sled down the front part of the hill, we have to try to keep from running into the house!

I think all that playing next to the house got our cat Macy a little jealous. We didn't realize until we were ready to go in that she had been watching the whole time.

Macy was much happier after we came in and resumed regular activities, like reading Homestead Blogger blogs.

Macy has learned a lot from all of your blogs!  See how intently she is reading!

Blessings to all - have a great Valentine's Day!!!
