We are having one more winter bash here in March!!! This winter weather has been so crazy!!! We had tempts in the 70's, lots of 60 degree days and now this!!! We thought Spring was on the way but I guess Winter wants to make one last blast!
If it's gonna be cold, I like when it snows. And so Ashlyn! She loves eating snow and Matthew brought this inside for her to enjoy!!!
Last night, my whole family came for Jody's good pizza and to play Marble Chase!!! Mike and I have been saying way too long that we want to have my family over sometime and because of the snow and because we are all into Marble Chase right now, we invited everyone over! What a fun night!!!
Two games going at one time!
We had two days in a row with of no school. The snow is deep outside but with the tempts not being higher than 30, everything is freezing up! Here we are being lazy while it snows!
We need new winter clothes so bad!!! I just didn't bother with tempts being warmer for most of the winter. But today, I made a quick stop for snow pants. I found one pair for Ashlyn and one pair for Matthew for $4.40!!! How cool is that!!!???!!! I'll take it!
These two love the snow together!!!
I'm happy to just watch from inside. :)
Sliding down the outside basket doors.
Digging a hole ...
... then laying in it!!! :))))
The back porch is packed so hard with snow!!! Matthew tried shoveling some away but it's heavy and hard to move!
Matthew and Ashlyn ended up sitting in the corner of the porch just talking. With sunglasses on. Because it's bright outside. :)
Today is Fannie Lynn's birthday! We last minute planned a quick trip to The Speckled Hen for lunch!!! Some of the older kids had school, some didn't. The little girls played in the toy area after lunch! Getting together with the Riehl sisters is always fun!!!
Happy Birthday, Fannie!
Will we have school tomorrow??? I do not know! Some of the roads are still bad while others are open and fine. It's still windy out and blowing snow across the roads. Our driveway is always a mess in snow and even though we had it plowed open, snow is drifting it shut again.
Snow doesn't seem to keep us inside too much though. Matt just left to go to a Flyers game with Matt and Lena and the boys. He was super excited about this!!! And Hadassah is off snow boarding with Tony, Ryan, John Micheal, Jess and others! She was all worked up while trying to find enough snow clothes! She ended up borrowing some and gathering enough to stay warm and dry!!! Next year, we will be more prepared with snow clothes!!! This is Hadassah's first time boarding, so we will have some interesting stories I'm sure!!! And it's Matthew's first Flyers game! It will be late for both of them getting home tonight and I'll be all ears in the morning to hear their stories! :)))

Update on Dad Lapp:
We brought Dad's home from Mexico late Saturday night.
We stopped in Sunday evening and Dad was still weak and threw up some during the day. He really needs to stop throwing up and be able to start eating foods again!!!
Monday morning, Dad was taken to a wellness center for IVs to help with dehydration. And he is still there. I was hoping that bringing him home would be a great start to better health for him! Please pray for Dad and Mom as they receive good care and nutrition for Dad!!! Watching the snow from inside their homes was their wish and now they are again away from their cozy home for health care!!! Say a prayer and keep praying for them!!!
