Deja Vu - School's Out Day 7

Before we went to bed last night, we knew school would be delayed an hour today.  But we awoke to 2" of fresh snow and school's were cancelled for the day once again.  This makes the 7th consecutive school day that school has been closed.  Add in the weekends, and we have had 11 days of togetherness!
It's so pretty, but the snow can go away now!

The Show Must Go On!

After another snow/ice fall overnight, we finally made it out of the house...to go to the circus!  Kim & Byrd gave the kids circus tickets for Christmas and they were super-excited to go today!  We were lucky, the shows yesterday and the 1st show this morning were cancelled due to the weather.
on our way!

Last Indoor Game

Cooper's soccer club had their last game of the indoor season tonight.  We arrived at the field a little early, so Cooper was invited to play in the first game as well.  They were playing full field...after 2 games, Cooper was worn out!  It was good for him though, after a week of being cooped up in the house due to the weather, it was nice for him to be able to run!!



Spring outdoor season starts in 2 weeks!
