The 'Snow' storm

Last night
Kendyl outside freezing to death
Last night- 2 inches of sleet/snow

This Morning
This morning- 2 inches of sleet/snow with 3 inches of snow on top
The swing set
3 inches of snow!
I found these animal tracks in the back yard
The bird feeder

Along with the 2 inches of sleet/ice/snow, last night we got 3 inches of snow!!!! We haven't had snow like this in a while!! Last night we ventured out to Walmart to get some stuff to work on my quilt. Well, we decided to stop by McDonalds and get something to eat, well some of our friends were there, so we had a little 'party' if you want to call it that. It was snowing like crazy when we got there. I have never seen snowflakes so big!! So we each got a happy meal, and they come with a free red box movie, so we got some movies to watch today because we don't have any school. The snow was coming down really fast when we were going into Springfield. The roads are not clear. There are snow plows everywhere, but the sleet is just coming down too fast. We were able to get into Walmart, and ran into the Flynn's, our new neighbors. We got our fabric, and came home. Well, we got to our mailbox, and got stuck. My mom tried backing out and going again, but we weren't moving. So I pushed the gas, and she pushed the car. Well, we were able to get it into the driveway, and we got our stuff and Anna and ran into the house. We called the Flynn's, who were following us home, and asked them if they could come over and push the van in. So they came over and helped push us in!

We woke up this morning to a whole lot of snow, for Missouri, it is a lot! We now have on the ground, a thin layer of ice, 2 inches of sleet/snow, and 3 inches of snow! We will be outside playing in the snow with the new snow tube that we got!
