Snow, Snow, and More Snow

January 27, 2017

This winter is the snowiest winter I've ever experienced in my life. I actually really like the snow, unless I have to drive when we're getting totally pounded and the plows can't keep up.

One quick snow story and then winter wonderland pictures. I think the main goal of our school is to never have a day off because of weather. We could get a foot of snow before school and still not be cancelled. One day a few weeks ago it was bad enough that we actually had a two hour delay, so the plows could clear all the school parking lots before the kids came to school. Whoopee. Fast forward to this week, when we've been shoveling twice a day almost every day. We are getting buried! I went to sleep to a very snowy forecast with high hopes of school being cancelled on Monday. Monday morning arrived, and there in my email was another two hour delay notice! Yeah! Better than nothing, for sure. I told, Nate and the kids, and there was much rejoicing.

Roughly an hour and a half later, I got a call from the school. This is nothing unusual, because our school sends multiple wuphfs per day. I picked it up and heard the nice automated lady telling me that Bryn had been marked absent for the day. I hung up, puzzled, to find a voicemail telling me the same for Addison. In a sudden panic, I quickly pulled up the email from that morning to find that it was from our old school. The one from last year. In a different school district. Swell.

So I hollered and herded everyone to the car, called the school, and was very grateful that the lady just told me to send them right into the office and they'd work it out. Translation: I escaped the walk of shame. Bless you, dear secretary.

On to the snow pictures. We've had lots of fun this year!

The very first snow day. This is Bryn before breakfast or teeth brushing or anything.
