And Still More Snow...(Updated)

I thought it only rained up here! Last Wednesday we got 6 inches of snow, the kids got another snow day, and I had another day of trying to work from home. I was looking forward to the snow melting and getting back to normal weather. Guess again! Saturday brought more snow. Of course the kids loved it and had more fun sledding down the trails by the house.

The snow melted enough to be able to get out and about by Sunday evening for mass and I was able to get to the office on Monday. By mid day I heard that more snow was on the way and that several more inches were expected. I woke up this morning and immediately looked outside to check. No snow! I felt better and hopped in the shower to get ready for work. By the time I got out of the shower the snow was really coming down. I tried to get into work, but after 2 hours on the bus, I still hadn't made it down to the train station. I turned around and went back home and worked the rest of the day there. The kids all had another snow day and even Leslie's classes were cancelled. At this rate, the kids are going to have so many days to make up from snow days that they aren't going to be ready for summer vacation until July....

More Snow

I haven't asked Leslie if she prayed for snow....But it sure started coming down this evening. Half the kids were ready for bed, but there was no way they were going down without a fight! I let them go out for "15 minutes" and it turned into 2 hours!


Dominic, Christopher and Sarah started out by throwing snowballs of course, and quickly joined some of the other neighborhood kids in dashing about and having fun. It seemed like all of the kids were out playing.



It wasn't too long before Mikey, Rebekah, and Leslie came out to join us. Christopher had a great time pelting Mikey with snow balls. Mikey got even though! Mike made a "snow pie" and chased Christopher down to deliver it. They all helped finish the snow man that we had started earlier. It took awhile, but I finally managed to get everyone back inside for the evening. They finished the evening with some warm drinks and talk of a snow day tomorrow. We'll just have to see what the morning brings....
