Brrrr...

I can't believe it.  The weather forecasters predicted it, and it actually happened.  We had some really cold air come in from up north along with some moisture and, wait for it.....it SNOWED!!! :-)  I went to work on Monday with the forecasters saying moisture moving in and temps dropping in the afternoon.  Well, by noon the snow was falling heavily.  Our district finally decided to let us dismiss, starting with bus riders, at 2:45.  Then as soon as my last student left at 3:20, I headed out the door. Monday night the winds picked up.  As soon as we finished eating out (late) dinner, the power went out. What timing...the low that night was supposed to be 13, with wind chill it felt like 8 degrees.  We tried to enjoy it as best as we could-Brian made a nice fire, and we set out a bunch of candles. The power remained out for about 8 hours. We were the lucky ones-I know people from work who were without for 16+ hours. Tuesday and Wednesday were also snow days for us, giving us a 6-day weekend.  I could get used to that!! :-)

Anyway, we spent a lot of the next few days playing outside.  We couldn't stay out too long though, since it was in the 20's for our highs.  Hailey absolutely LOVED the snow and would have stayed out there all day if we would have let her.  Here's a few pictures of our snow fun!
