Snow Day- Take 3


In the last week we have had some weird late Winter weather. Last Thursday and Friday we woke to a dusting of white, which ridiculously made them close school out here.

Grayson and Rowan went on a quest to find enough snow to use the sleds they got for Christmas.

But sadly they couldn't find enough. By late morning the roads were pretty much clear and there wasn't enough snow to be fun to play in.

This morning we once again woke to a dusting of white. This time we had way more than the other days they had closed school, so we knew right away it was going to be a day off. Grayson and Rowan headed outside right after breakfast and made the most of it.

Rowan set about trying to get enough snow to make a snow fort,while Grayson tried to convince me to pay him shoveling snow.

By 9:30 the snow had turned to rain, it had warmed up over freezing and the snow plow had hit our street. Everything was quickly becoming a soggy mess outside. In my opinion, if there isn't going to be enough snow to keep the kids occupied all day, then we shouldn't have a snow day.

(Fuller has apparently reached the age where a little bit of snow just isn't exciting enough to leave the house for. That's why he's not in any of the pictures.)

We still have a couple of inches at our house. We are at just a slightly higher elevation, so we generally end up with a little more snow. I know that there is no way I would have been able to make it out this morning in my van and Kirk had to leave for work this morning at 5:45am in his 4 wheel drive truck.
