Picture Perfect Snow Day....

Hot chocolate!


The best part of the snow...eating it!

This is a scary picture...reminds me of "A Christmas Story"...

Collecting Snow for snow cream...

We even got to play with Drew next door! Snowball fight!

Going over to see Drew on the Gator!

Daddy's Snow Angel...

Lane and Bo have been asking for it since Christmas....and we finally got enough to play in today! Lane kept saying that she didn't understand why it didn't snow at Christmas....but I told her it was still possible, so she now says, "It can still snow because it is still Christmas season!" ...So Bo said this morning, " I am so glad it is Christmas outside!" I have a new name for Rob it is called "Snowbird"...he has been waiting for a snow day from school all year....he was up at 3 am this morning and didn't go back to sleep till 7, after he was sure that all the little children would have their day at home today, he was so worried about those Memphis city and Shelby County kids because they waited so long to cancel school (I think he was just empathizing with the teachers if they had to go today!) So nonetheless, lucky for me today was my day to work in the schools, so I got to take a snow day too! Rob often calls me "cliche", you know the kind that likes New York at Christmas, jumping in the leaves in the fall, sipping a daquiri on the beach, popcorn with movies......so what else would I want on a snow day.....sleep late (except Rob), get up and cook a big breakfast with the kids, drink coffee, put on layers and layers of clothes, have a snowball fight (try to build a snowman in that sorry little dry snow!), come in for hot chocolate, have homeade vegetable soup for lunch, make snow cream, (a tradition that comes from my "Granny", I remember her making in for Clayton and I), take a nap, watch the Tigers win big, and then blog about our day.....just what I would have wanted today to be....usually it doesn't work out so perfect, some mishap during the plans usually occurs, but lucky for me, today I got a perfect snowday (except that sorry dry snow!). So, thanks Rob, Lane, and Bo for making my snow day!
