SNOW FUN (OR NOT?)

Well, our school district was the ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T CANCEL SCHOOL TODAY. However, the high schoolers got out at noon, middle schoolers at one and the poor elementary kids had to stay the entire day. I can only imagine the grief the superintendent's office got on his decision. Luckily, Rachel was staying home another day to recoop from the flu so I picked Lindsey up at noon and then headed over to pull Allie from school a few minutes early. A lot of parents were doing this and some I spoke with on the phone didn't even send their kids in the first place. I can't tell you how good it felt when everyone (except Rick) was home safe and sound! We spent the rest of the day shoveling (and shoveling) and just hanging out at home.

Lindsey took this photo of the basketball hoop in our driveway.

Way cool!

A photo of the pine tree in front of our house! It looked like someone had sprayed it with snow. Very pretty.

Lindsey getting ready to head inside after she and I shoveled the driveway for the first time. All in all, we got about 12 inches of snow. The first time we shoveled there was 8 inches and it was heavy, heavy snow with a nice layer of frozen ice underneath. We shoveled again (another 4 inches of fluffier snow) when Rick was about home otherwise he wouldn't have made it up the driveway. Lucky for us our neighbor helped us out by snowblowing the end of the driveway.

A photo of Mr. Titan who loves eating the snow! Weird, huh?
