We had more snowfall overnight.  We awoke this morning to 4 inches of snow!  School was cancelled again...for the 9th straight day!
the snow is very pretty, but I'm ready for it to melt!

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.
