Trauma or Drama??

Well yesterday after homework was done the kids wanted to play outside (i guess our promptings to go explore saturday were fruitful afterall!) they get all their gear on (with out complaint i might add!) and the 3 of them go out... we don't hear anything for a bit and i'm taking glance outside periodically to see if i can see where they are etc.. then i see Hunter and Bradley together with out KayLea going off into the woods.. i'm looking around and KayLea is heading for the house except there is kind of a high snow bank she has to climb up to get to the back door (where she is aiming to go) i watch her to make sure she makes it up ok and she is kind of stopped and then we see the crying... she got stuck... SHE IS FINE!!! but the issue was what if we didn't actually SEE the boys take off with out KayLea she would have been stuck in the snow crying (we didn't actually hear her crying we saw her distressed look etc.) so the boys got a good "talking to" ok there was yelling involved, but they finally realized what could have happened they apologized to KayLea and us etc. etc.. KayLea milked it the boys felt they were justified because she said she was going to the house.. they now know they have to walk her INTO the house etc.. but it was quite the drama for a short time...
so thats the story for yesterday...
we are suppose to get snow tonight and then again through friday URGGG!!! we really can't have another snow day!!! the kids are already going to school until June 20th because of all the snow days and we havn't even hit flood season where we get at least a few more days because the busses can pass flooded streets etc... they already postponed Scout camp to the week of July 4th because some wards in the stake have already gone to the last week of the month (when Scout Camp was origionally scheduled) and we are very close to having to go that week as well!
i was told on Sunday we are about 3 weeks away from no snow.. frankley I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!! but i'll be ever the optomist! ya right!
tats it for now

That's by far been the best thing about moving away from the snow...not living in it! Sounds like its keeping you guys busy, on top of everything else, right?
