"Snow" Day

Last Wednesday, it was predicted that we would have 2-4" of snow. So of course, on Tuesday night, they cancelled school for Wednesday. Well, what a bust!! It rained all.day.long and not until 7 pm did a few snowflakes start to fall!!

 

We had just finished dinner, so we rushed to put our Winter gear on & went outside.

 There wasn't much to do....so we walked around, caught snowflakes on our tongues, made snowballs off the hood of the car, and talked to a few neighbors. We decided to go inside and wait a little longer for it to start sticking. And it did!!

The next door neighbors came over and the kids had a ball in our backyard!!

 We had a few parent vs. kids snowball fights, and then moved to the front yard after awhile. By this time, the snow had stopped coming down.



Our pitiful little snowman!

All in all, the kids stayed outside about an hour. We came inside to the news of a 2 hour delay the next morning! (Thank goodness, because it was close to 9:30 by the time they got to bed!)

 

Both kids were still talking about the "best night ever" when they woke up Thursday morning. Clearly, it doesn't take much to impress them! :) So while I'm sad we didn't get the snow they were predicting, we got enough to make the kids happy and I guess that's all that matters.....
