Winter Wonderland

Shauna and her friend, Sydney. Yes, that is Shauna's winter coat in the snow. It was 24 degrees and she was hot!

Weird weather!

Today is Tuesday and it is now 23 degrees and going down to 19, later tonight. The high today was about 24. It is going to be 66 degrees on Friday and 72 degrees on Saturday.

Quote of the day

Background for quote of the day: Alex, Luke and Shauna were trying to figure out how to get a third snow day, now that the roads are clear. They said they would spray the roads with water, so when they send transportation out to test the roads, they would see the ice and cancel school again. A few minutes after they finished the discussion, this happened:

Alex: "Mom, I just got a text message from Shauna that said 'Get a warm, heavy jacket and tonight at twelve, I will wake up so we can fill up a lot of buckets of water'. "

This is probably only funny if you know Shauna, but we do and it was hilarious!

Make that snow

The sleet just changed to actual snow! Can you tell everyone is very excited around here? This is our first (and hopefully only) snow of the year. Pictures to follow.

Snow Day????

It is sleeting very heavily right now and we are all hoping for a snow day tomorrow! I'm making everyone help clean up the house, just in case. That way, they won't have so many chores and can get out to play in the snow before it melts.
