As you've probably read in my last post, it snowed (last week, but whatever). It started snowing at night, so we didn't get to enjoy the fluffiness of it newly fallen. The next day we slept in, cleaned the house, and then I suited up and stepped outside. By then it was already afternoon, so a lot of the snow had melted or mostly thinned. But that didn't stop me! I marched right to the middle of the yard, took my leftover dish, and started making bricks to make my amazing snow wall!
I convinced Clint to come outside, and together, we made it even more amazing! It had two perpendicular walls, both probably around four (ish) feet long and three (ish) feet high, so it was more like a fort.
The proud builders of the wall.
It was sturdy enough to withstand the heaviest
of snowball fights (if there was enough snow leftover)
Even comfort-lined with extra snow floors!
Clint decided to eat his lunch of the leftover homemade
macaroni and cheese (with rotini noodles and
elbow noodles) that McKenzie made, inside the fort. It
was quite enjoyable.
By the time it was all done, it was around 3 o' clock, and it was pretty sunny outside. The temperature started to climb, and I worried for our little snow fort. It stood for the next few days.

The track meet scrimmage that was scheduled for Monday March 2 (I guess) was cancelled, due to snow. It was rescheduled for that Thursday.
It was pretty uninteresting, except for the fact that it was my first meet-ish thing.
We were in the middle of the high jump when the coach called over the bullhorn for me to come run the 4x800. What a surprise, I can say! Coach Clark had said that I would be an alternate for it, and I didn't expect much from it, considering I'm a first-year runner and I'm not the best. Well, I ran up and got a crash course on receiving and giving the baton, and then the event started. Not much of a warning. I guess I did okay, though.

i must say
my first macaroni was a success
but a little hard on top
my fort would have been cooler
but i was too lazy to make one
and you took all the snow anyway
wish we lived in utah
where there was more snow
that melted slower

What an amazing fort!
We could have lived in it for years!
Maybe even months!
Or seconds!
It was like living in a air conditioned home!
