Yesterday we had a snow day, not sure why...
Yes we had snow 8 inches of the white stuff.
we started out at 2 hours late, understandable. Give the road crews time to get out and clear the roads... Once the sun came up and the plow had made their pass it looked rather ordinary out there, cars were going by at a steady stream and aside from the rather large berm at the end of my driveway, it didn't appear to be hazardous to be out traveling, and then they called school... oh joy! I had 4 daycare kids, the two that live the furthest away, made it, most that live in town did not...imagine that! Sunday night we bundled the kids up, that was entertaining in and of
itself, yahaira could barely walk...she was so bundled. Loved listening to their excited squeals and laughter when they first saw the snow. Loved watching Anthony fly around the corner of the garage and race into the yard with the biggest grin, remembering a time not too long ago when he stood by me
in the driveway and didn't have a clue what I meant when I said let's play in the snow, so I called in back up and invited the neighbor boy over to play with him. Amazing what can change in just a couple of years. As the picture shows Anthony is quite the master when it comes to snow play. Yahaira just giggled the whole time, rolling in the snow as much as walking simply because she was so bundled that
any movement took immense effort...getting her in was next to impossible. Alonso seemed uncertain at first but by watching Anthony and Yahaira soon caught on. Gracie came over to play adding to the fun. Cassandra watched the kids outside, teaching them the finer points of snowballs and aim... Rosie watched from inside laughing and pointing at the kids outside. I also watched from the warmth inside, ventured out a time or two just to get some pics...so not a snow lover. Loved how quiet and calm it was outside, the kids loved that they were playing outside in the dark... So it's the middle of January and half way thru the school year, I guess it was time
we had a snow day.
