2 day weekend in the snow + 3 snow days out of school =

I'm just not cut out for this. It's pretty, but I can see pretty in pictures. My kids don't even like to play in it anymore. These pictures are all starting to look the same and being inside with five, restless children all day is not fun. Maybe you viewers will enjoy it.

When they sing about it they don't tell you...

the ugly part. When I hear "Let it Snow" or "Frosty the Snowman", snow sounds fun. When I look at pictures of snowy landscapes and falling snow it is beautiful. But the reality is, it's a pain in the rear to drive in and this is what you have two weeks later:

Doesn't that look fun? Isn't it just gorgeous? Oh and it's ice folks. Not fluffy. There is no way to pick it up and make a dirty snow ball out of it. Just big, dirty chunks of ice. Yeah, love the scenery.

Let it snow round two

We had a good snow earlier this year. We even got to miss three days of school. Good times. No such luck this time. The snow came the Friday night that we got off of school for Christmas break. Not only that, but the snow came fast and heavy and was much too deep to play in. Oh well, it makes for pretty pictures. Everything looks prettier in the snow.

This first shot was after about an hour of the white stuff falling:

I just like comparing, the picture above was the night before around 6:00 the one below is about 9am the next morning.

Snow Day Anyone?

I hope it's like this tomorrow too so we can have our long weekend!
