Joey's younger brother called us at 7:50 this morning to tell us to take the kids outside because it was snowing. I had just awakened Samuel for school so we rushed out to see. He was so excited! I don't know how he knows about snow, but he kept saying we needed to make snowballs and throw it at each other and then make a snowman. You can see our attempt at a snowman here. Samuel's hands got so cold that he ran inside and refused to go back out to take a picture. Brooke was busy eating the snow.
I took Samuel to school because the news said that all schools were open. When I got there, there was only one other child in his class. I tried to take him back with me but his teacher insisted he stay- I think she wanted a friend for the other child. As I was driving home I was checking out the roads and thought things might get worst in three hours so I turned around and went back to pick him up. Then I had a good laugh at myself for being so anxious to get him to school. I turned into one of the parents we teachers used to snicker about, "Why didn't these parents just keep their kids home!" The snow has stopped and the rain has started. There's enough snow to cover the ground, cars, and rooftops, but it won't last too long. It's certainly a beautiful sight for us novices!

I'd heard on the news that you had snow. Good job on the snowman. Shall I send some mittens??? We had 4-5 inches on Tues and am expecting more on Sunday-Monday, just in time for John to come home:)
What fun for you (and the boys). I hadn't looked at the BLOG in a while and was surprised to see this crazy entry. ;o)
