It snowed. A lot. In fact it is still snowing.
This morning Michael walked out the door with the intention of driving to work. Instead he ended up shoveling the driveway and helping the neighbor get his car back in his garage after he attempted to go to work. So Michael decided to work from home today and I decided the kids didn't need to attend the last day of school before winter break. Besides it is only a half day.
Madison had a school party to go to so she caught a ride with a neighbor who wasn't stuck. When I told Kai to hunker down and prepare for some fun at home he cried. HE CRIED! What is it with my kids and school? When I was in elementary school I told my mom our break started a WEEK before it actually did so I could get out of going to school. I would have gotten away with it too if my friend hadn't told on me (I'm talking to you Jessie). I told him most kids would be happy to miss school, "I'm not like those kids mom! I love school!" I kept him home anyway.
So to make the best of a bad situation they bundled up and got ready for some serious time in the snow. Chase was even willing to wear a thermal shirt and snow pants. I am learning that if you know the right price Chase can be bought. Did I mention that he said I could cut his hair if I gave him ice cream? That should happen later today.
Even though they had to miss school they had a blast in the snow. Chase and Kai had a pretty serious snowball fight.
Kai made a very impressive snow angel.
And, because the snow came up to his waist, Davis spent most of his time trying to stay upright.
Maybe missing a little school isn't the worst thing that ever happened.

That picture of the trees is gorgeous! And the pictures of the kids are great. I wish my boys would play in the snow. The only reason they're outside right now is because we told Jonathon we'd pay him for shoveling snow, and Duncan is keeping him company.
I swear I was tricked!! i plead my innocence:)
looks like a lot of fun . . . even for snow:)
I got stuck in my driveway this morning too. Sean D'Heanens had to pull me out. Thank goodness Mark took Clara to school. She would have killed me had I told her she wasn't going. It was the Christmas party and all. You've probably ruined Brigham's whole life. When he's 30 he'll tell everybody how his mom made him stay home and he missed the Christmas sing along. :)
