Snow Day!

Well, the kids really lucked out last week and had a weekend in the middle of the week. They went to school on Monday, then had Tuesday off due to the ice storm. Tuesday night it snowed, so they got Wednesday off for snow. Then Thursday they had a two-hour late start. Which means they only went to school for two full days Monday and Friday! I really enjoyed having them home, and I also enjoyed not having to drive them around. I like being warm at home on cold days like these.

We did finally get some real snow. We got less than an inch, but is was a wetter, heavier snow. The other two times it has snowed a very dry snow with tiny flakes that looked more like salt than snow. I took a few pictures of the snow. Tessa and Jarem got out and played in it a little bit, but mostly just stomped around.

Jarem really had fun stomping around in the snow...excited to use his boots!

The kids found out Tuesday night that there would be no school on Wednesday, so Alex, Jarem, and Tessa all had a sleepover in Alex's room. They enjoyed being able stay in bed later on Wednesday morning.
