snow day, north carolina style.

A few weeks ago, the forecast indicated that snow would start to fall on Tuesday at noon. So late Monday night they cancelled school for Tuesday. We waited all day but the snow never came. The girls were happy to have a day off of school though. The majority of my day was spent at the DMV getting my NC license. Thankfully Ben was at home with the kids so three hours in line reading a book without kids climbing on me actually felt like a nice break. (Tells you something about my life when the DMV feels like a break.) The snow finally started around 5 p.m. on Tuesday. We got a few inches overnight and school ended up being cancelled the rest of the week, mainly for icy road conditions and a lot of roads not getting plowed. We don't have any built-in snow days so we have to make all 4 days up which is a bummer. We were so grateful for our kind neighbor who has a plow attachment for his four wheeler and cleared our driveway. I'm pretty sure it would have taken us all day to shovel it. (And as I'm typing this, we're experiencing another snow storm. This one seems a little more treacherous. Looks like more snow days to make up.)

Oliver was ready and waiting for snow all day on Tuesday.

Enjoying the first flurries Tuesday night.

It took no less than 45 minutes to outfit everyone in snow clothes.
