SNOW DAY!?

It was kind of surprising to have a snow day today. There was hardly a dusting of snow in our area, but the rule is that if Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools are closed so is the preschool. That was the case today. We started out yesterday with the potential of 1-2" then it was 2-5" and possibly up to 8". By the 11 o'clock news we were back down to 1-2" of accumulation anticipated. We ended up with maybe a 1/4" of snow. That certainly did not stop the excitement around our house. I could hardly sleep last night because I was so excited about seeing the snow. Elizabeth was bouncing off the walls with excitement when she saw it this morning.

We finally bundled up and headed out when our friends, theadf Callinans, stopped by on their walk. They came in and warmed up while I got the girls in their snow clothes. They were all so cute all bundled up. Both Katherine and Aiden had a little trouble with mobility. Aiden kept falling after a few steps and couldn't get up and Katherine could get around, but had a difficult time getting back up when she did fall down. Elizabeth will certainly not get lost in her bright snowsuit!

We pulled out one of the new sleds we bought the night before and Kevin pulled the kids around the yard. He certainly got his exercise. Everyone giggled and laughed, except for Aiden who wasn't to sure about sledding. Elizabeth laid down a couple of times attempting to make a snow angel. No luck this time, but it was good practice for next weekend when we go to the mountains with the Callinans. I can hardly wait for the weekend now!
