Welcome to Team Askew's blog!

Some days may be crazy days around here, but each day holds lots of love! We hope you enjoy a glimpse into the blessings our children are to us. Here is where we hope to remember the milestones, the laughs, the tears, the trying moments, the celebrations, the funny things our kids say and do, and all the ways God has blessed our amazing family!

Snow Day



The kids learned some old wives tales on how to make it snow at school. So for several days Abby and Drew slept with a spoon under their pillow, flushed ice down the toilet before bed, and had Nick carry them into bed not letting their feet touch the floor. They were stoked when it actually worked and we had a snow day ! It wasn't a ton of snow but enough to cancel school for the day and keep the kids entertained all day long! Nick got the kids to build an awesome snowman that greeted me when I returned from driving my sister and nephew to the airport in Portland. I wasn't stoked that the one day of the year we got snow was the day I had to spend 5 hours on the road! Lots' of slipping and sliding! It was nice to arrive home and see the snowman in the yard. My kids sure do love to play in the snow! It was Aiden's first snow experience this year. I think he loved it more than the big kids! My sister will send me some pictures she took on her camera of Aiden in the snow and I will add them to this post. The kids are looking forward to our next snow adventure!
