MORE SNOW!!!!!!


Having grown up in the South and now living in the North, I really do enjoy having snow.  I have my moments when my socks and shoes are wet and cold that I long for warmer weather, but I can honestly say that the few months of frigid temperatures is a good exchange for the hot, humid southern summers.  The kids love getting out there and playing in it.

We got about 6 inches last Friday night.  The roads were a bit treacherous in the morning when I went down to Florence to pick up the kids.  By the time we headed back up though, the plows had everything cleared.  We got a few more inches on top of that today and will have a couple more tomorrow.  It will be a good day to work from home.  I have my "new" antique desk set up looking out my window so I can keep an eye on the kids while they play outside.  And they will be going outside tomorrow to play!  I need a break from "Phineas and Ferb" and my sofa needs a break from Chooj jumping up and down.  As much as I love Hayes' reading, she also needs to take an activity break from hiding out in my closet on the shelf where she has constructed a reading nook.

We played outside for a bit on Sunday, sledding, building a snowman and having a mini snowball fight, which was more like me trying to get Hayes while she hid behind everything.  I did get a picture of the snowman before Chooj ate most of his nose.
