Back Up and Running

"Snow..."
Now that the Fios is hooked up and we are back "on-line" I wanted to throw a few pictures up of the snow storm right before Christmas. Over 20 inches of snow in a day and a half. We missed 2 days of school and were delayed on the third day. Of course the delayed day was December 23 and was scheduled as a early dismissal day for kids, meaning they leave at 1:30 instead of 4:00. Of course when there is a delay on an early dismissal day the early dismissal is canceled. So kids were in school from 11:00-4:00, as soon as they got to school we went to lunch.

Let's tally this up, students had 4 days off with the weekend and snow days, then came to school for 5 hours and then were off for 11 days. In a 16 day span they had 5 hours of school! Of course, since those 5 hours were right before the Holiday/Christmas break it was songs on the guitar and gingerbread houses complete with pattern fences and symmetrical roofs.

Daddy running Ella to the top of the "sledding hill." Grams swore she use to sled in laundry baskets and on boxes. I have a bruised calf and gimpy knee that says otherwise!!!


Mommy and Ella weren't to anxious to head down the hill. Come on! Toughen up kid! It's not that bad.

Oh, I guess that's pretty cold. Who is taking that picture instead of helping that poor girl out of the snow! BTW...nice crash!!!

Ms. Claus (Grams) walking Dougie, against the wind.

Who knew Minnie Mouse would be so into the the snow. A walk sounded like a great idea. Actually, when we were walking with the snow to our backs it wasn't bad. This walk was one of my favorite parts of the storm.
