Yesterday school was cancelled because of the weather. Today it's cancelled AGAIN!! I love it because everything else is cancelled also. I've gotten email notifications and phone calls all day about different things on my calendar that are cancelled...hooray!! Here's my cross-off the calendar list from yesterday and today....no church, no BYC, no Deacon's quorum presidency meeting, no school, no teaching seminary, no jazz band practice, no basketball, no RS activity, no making soup for Salvation Army volunteers, no band concert, no lacrosse practice...nice! This week was suppose to be the "cram everything in before Christmas break" week....but instead I am just loving the snow and blogging :)
The kids have had a blast meeting up with their friends and playing outside in the snow. They left the house yesterday with their cell phones tucked away in their coats....called a couple of times for permission...came back for a quick lunch...headed back out.....came back (when it started getting dark) with a few friends to have hot chocolate and watch the Grinch. Bob was even working from home so it was fun wandering in to talk to him a bit. I LOVED the no-responsibility feeling. I even took a little nap with my doggy :)
This is all the snow we got...and everything is cancelled!! After living in the midwest for 2 years and Utah for 20....I am still in awe of this.....the "WHY and Whimps" creep into my thinking
Yet, even though the snow is small....the ICE is great! We don't get enough snow in these parts to warrant the purchase of that many snowplows....so the city just focuses on the freeways and the rest of us are left with ice....until it melts. Good luck!
The snow deprived children....they MUST go sledding
I must admit that this is about the extent of the picture taking for me.....it was COLD outside and I didn't want to get out of my slippers. I'll try and get some better ones of the kids.

It's snowing here too, but we didn't get any cancellations. Bummer. It looks like you had some pretty good snow gear for the kids, you just needed some for you so you could join them. Do we get to see any snowmen or snow-angels? Enjoy the down time and the snow.
Sorry, I must be writing from Aubrey's account, but it's really me! J
Oh, I love it! I love seeing their eyes just peeking out from all their cold-weather gear! So fun! Check my blog for a link to my new background. There is a blinkie on the bottom right to the site I downloaded it from--nice and easy, gotta love that! Have fun playing in the snow!
If things were cancelled on the account of that much snow around here - nuts! We have received so much snow lately! It's been snowing mad since Saturday. We finally have a sunny day today! I am jealous you only get that much - wait until all the rescheduling of the cancellations pop up - you will have a lot of games to go too!
I was surprised I'd already missed 2 pages of your blog, but this explains it. We had school canceled one day and it was all melted by 11am. Silly, but we loved it.
