Today the kids had a snow day! Madison was up bright and early asking if I had checked the news yet! It started snowing yesterday morning about 11am and for the most part it hasn't stopped. In fact it just started again! We accumulated about 6 inches over night and more since then!
***
I took Travis to the bus stop this morning so he didn't have to walk in the snow! The bus came at 7am and didn't get into work until almost 10am! He said it was horrible! He's debating on going in tomorrow especially if the snow doesn't stop!

This morning I had a desire to shovel snow! I know what you are thinking! She's 8.5 months pregnant she should not be doing that!! Well I needed to check the mail, so Zachary and I put our boots and coats on and I made one path down to the mail box. Well Jed and Eli C. came out and told me to stop, and that they would clear our driveway for me! They are such great boys and did me a wonderful service this morning! I thanked them with hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies!
Jed
Eli
Zachary felt he needed to help too. He had on his pjs and no socks! I finally convinced him to come in and put on warmer clothes!
Then Madison wanted to come out and play with Eli and Jed's sisters Amy and Alyssa! They built a snow fort, a snow man and a slide! They were outside for over an hour just playing in the snow! Zachary had frozen and dried snot on his face! (Think Dumb and Dumber!)
This is the slide/snow fort they made out of the snow from 1/3 of the driveway!
Zachary climbed the "hill" and said, "Look mom, I'm the Statue of Liverty!"
I think that is just pure joy on their faces! The hill was about 3.5 feet tall!
Zachary inside the snow cave! He thought it was pretty cool!
One of the last things they did before I made them come in, was to finish their snow man! The neighbor gave us a carrot for the nose, and we used wet sidewalk chalk to make a face and arms!
Thanks December 1st for the snow day! The kids had a blast!
Happy December Everyone!

Holy cow, what a way to bring in the Christmas season! My kids are sooo jealous and said they want to move back to Oregon during the holidays each year so they can experience the joy of snow days...if they only knew how exciting they really are.
We have a cold snap coming through this week - highs only in the 50's which is AWEFUL here! Ashlyn is convinced from tv commercials that it's going to snow any day now and checks outside when she gets up...she's gonna end up being a sad little girl I'm afraid! :)
