Snow Day

Yesterday morning started out pretty normal.  Will left for work, and I had plans to meet up with friends at Chick-fil-a.  Light snow dusting was predicted, but I usually don't think anything will happen..especially if the schools don't cancel.

It was colder than expected.  Snow came earlier than expected and lasted longer than expected.   Businesses and schools shut down and once, and too many people hit the roads.

It was like nothing I have ever seen.  People slept in their offices, children slept in schools, many slept on interstates and highways, and cars were abandoned as people trekked miles home.

Will spent the "snow day" trapped at school.  It was a bummer because it was a beautiful powdery snow.  The kiddos loved it.  We made snowman heads, snow angels, threw snowballs, and ate snow cream.  We drank hot chocolate and read our snow books.  We watched movies and ate cheerios for dinner.  We had a blast!  We wish Will had experienced it with us.

Snow Cream!

Daddy finally arriving at 1:30 on Wednesday afternoon.  He had been gone since 6 the day before.
