January 26, 2026 Monday- Snow day

 We canceled everything for the day as there is a good solid two to three inches of ice everywhere. I was going to have a lesson come in the afternoon so Michael and I went to try to clear the driveway...that is when we realized that we would be lucky to clear a small walkway on the sidewalk to the door. I ended up cancelling that lesson. The sun was out today which made for a perfect day to get out and enjoy the snow. I had seen pictures of lots of people enjoying the snow and I wondered...did we miss it? We were mostly inside the last couple of days, both were very cold but on top of that Roslyn and Maebryn still weren't feeling great and yesterday was Sunday. But it worked out perfectly because with the sun out today was the perfect day to get our and enjoy the snow. We all did lots of sledding and exploring. It was great going down the hill but very difficult to get back up...sometimes the kids were on their hands and knees trying to climb back up but were still sliding back down in their attempt. 

I went out earlier in the day and walked around up in the forest. It was so beautiful and peaceful and neat to see all of the tracks. I saw deer, rabbit, coyote, cat, raccoon, birds, and ducks. It was a beautiful day. I taught our kids their lessons and they all got their homework done. We enjoyed sleeping in and found out that school would be moved to Wednesday and no seminary tomorrow as well.
