Snowapacolypse 2014

All of Greenville knew this was coming.  Rumors said that we'd get anywhere from 2 to 10 inches.  Milk and bread were scarce at the grocery stores, along with everything else you can put in your mouth.  The produce sections were very bare, and the crowds were unprecedented.  It was crazy.

We all hunkered down and planned to be inside, doing lots of cooking, hoping we'd keep power this time.  I'm so glad to tell you we did. 

Tuesday we were loving not going anywhere and were out in it as soon as there was anything to be out in. 

 We played "snow soccer" as a family: 

 

We watched warmed up, watching movies and drinking hot cocoa:

 

I was able to work in a "walk" with Greta:

Brody changed hats when they got wet:

The Macy and Sydney enjoyed their time in the snowy creek bank:

 

MG joined in the fun:

 Brody loved the Pruitt's sleds:

I actually went sledding down Strange Road, had a video to prove it, and accidentally deleted the video.  :(

By Wednesday, we waited until the afternoon to get out and play.  We had a snowball fight:

We built a snowman:

Guess who DIDN'T want their picture with the snowman?

 And guess who likes to be a ham whenever he can?

Carrie went for a walk with us:

Stephen came out and we played with the Pruitts next door:

  

 Carrie's footprints:

By Thursday we were going stir-crazy.  But we went out one last time.

Stephen took the Corolla out for a spin early that evening, since the snow was melting and had not re-frozen.  We ended up getting a pizza that night and Meagan and Jonathan from our community group came over for cocoa and cider.

By Friday, we were thankful it happened, but ready for it to be done.  I needed more groceries!  :)

But we did stop by Publix long enough to get stuff for a proper Valentine's Breakfast:

And before all the snow melted, we snapped a photo Rainbow, Brody's 5K class' stuffed animal, who we were supposed to take on adventures with us that week.
