Snowpocalypse 2011

While a lot of you have had it MUCH worse than we have (I keep reading of frozen pipes, no electricity or water and roads covered in slabs of ice), we got our first real snow late last night. All week, Benjamin has been hoping and praying for a snow day, and he got it today! (And this year, Daddy did, too-- YAY!) When David's phone rang at 4:30 am to tell him of the district closing, I knew our kindergartener's wish came true. It was nice seeing as how all week the temps were below twenty...kind of nice to have the fun part of the cold, too!

And as quickly as it came....it went. We took these photos about three hours ago. And now, it's all melted and gone. That's kind of how I like to enjoy snow. Fast and furious. And then on with the show.

We frolicked, played and then came in for hot chocolate. A lazy afternoon is forming now...in front of the fire and movies. Snow days are so nice.

Oh....and luck of all lucks: last night at about 7:30, I got the call I'd been waiting for a month to get. My camera was finally fixed and ready to pick up at the Geek Squad counter. Amen and hallelujah. Just in time for snow pics. I missed the camera so much. So glad she's home. And well again.

We're doing pretty much the same thing over here this afternoon. We had fun playing in the snow for the short time that it was here. Now that we've locked in a 3-day weekend, it's time to warm back up :-)

Wow, those are some great snow pics. So glad you were all able to have some fun in the snow! Glad you got your camera back too.
