Snow day #2!!

Yesterday we had a snow day, but the roads were so perfect and we needed to go to Costco, so we all went to Cincinnati for the day. The snow days when you aren't stuck at home are kind of nice. It's like being given a free day for the kids. I think they were expecting this big winter storm to have hit earlier than it did.

But last night it came!! I stayed up until after 1:00 to watch it snow. They were the biggest flakes I've ever seen and it was beautiful. I need to have a cozy chair to put in front of a window for future snowstorms. I don't think I'll ever get sick of watching it snow.

We got 5 - 6 inches last night, and there is more on the way tonight. So we are banking on another snow day tomorrow! Here is Megan, on her way to a friend's house standing in the middle of the street. It's weird because in some areas you can't tell where your yard ends, the sidewalk is or where the street is. So our tree in our front yard that usually has a mound of dirt on it and also our gauge for how much snow there really is.... looks like it's sitting out in the middle of the street when you are looking at it from inside the house. Trevor and I think that is pretty cool.


My street. Is it silly that I would love to roll down that hill into a big snowball like you see in cartoons?

Time for a new game. Torture the dog. Toss a ball out into the snow and watch it disappear. Then watch the dog go nuts. She found it once and brought it back to me. Only to lose it again. I suppose we'll find it sometime next week. Later I'll take her out again with her popped soccer ball so she at least has a sporting chance of finding it.

It's hard to get her in after letting her out to play. She loves the snow.

We're such geeks. I even tossed a few cans of soda out on the deck to chill so we can find them again at lunchtime. We're just keeping things interesting around here. ;)
