January 17/18 Snow Day

The day before Wednesday, January 17th, we were forecasted to get between 2"-4" of snow.... as the day went on, the number grew.... and the start time would also continue to be delayed. First at 4am, then 6am, finally at 9am. Of course when I woke up at 6am that morning for work and it was raining, I was grossly disappointed.  By 9am the snow had started, but it was definitely not sticking to the ground. About 2 hours later, it finally did and the above picture of Brent and Brock was taken at 3pm with at least 5" on the ground!

What would have happened if it all stuck to the ground when it started!!??!?

Still snowing at 5:30PM! 

All in all, we ended up with about 9" at our house. The best part - my company closed the office on Thursday, so I didn't have to worry about taking a PTO day or who was going to watch the children - we all got to go out and enjoy the snow!

Love that Carolina Blue sky! We walked down the street to the pool to check out the snow-capped trees and "if anyone was swimming at the pool" - Brock's concern.

A few branches that needed their snow pushed off.

Back at the house all covered in snow!

Brock and I made snow angels!

Kade attempted, but wasn't quite successful.....

Still missing our sled..... but Brock loved just running and falling down the hill in the snow!

Kade said he was done - too cold after 20 minutes of outdoor play. I didn't blame him! We all went inside and took a nice hot shower to warm up!

Yay for snow days that last two days and yay for the daycare place to open back up on Friday! :)
