Yesterday in the checkout line, the girl said “there will be a foot tomorrow!”
I said there was no way. The news dude even said we’d have 4-6″ total – between last night and Sunday. It would be rain, snow, rain, snow, yuck.
So I told Nathan: If we get a foot, the kids are skipping school and we are sledding.
Between 7:30 pm and 2 am, every human in the house came down with a head cold. So Nathan and I took shifts, 2-4am, 4-6 am, to clear out noses and wipe noses and rub backs.
I peeked out the window at 3:00 am to barely a dusting. Phew, at least we wouldn’t have to miss out on sledding.
And then when I came downstairs this morning and opened all the blinds first thing? This is what I saw.
want to swing?
It did make the morning email to the first grade teacher easier to write. ”Sorry Jacob won’t be at school today. Snow and sled called his name and we listened!” might not have gone over too well.
Last night I had thought about emailing her that “Jacob is full of snow” and hoping she’d think I had meant “Jacob is full of snot”. TYPO! Or is it?!
Alas, thwarted plans through boogers get him an excused absence and means we don’t have to attack the driveway. Right?
I wonder if they can all be half better by lunch before this is supposed to turn to rain? Hmmm…
Amazing! 11 miles away and we only have a skiff on the lawn and nothing on the pavement! Have fun sledding!
haha. I would not be at all above sending that first email. I’ve done it for cousin playdates this year.
Wow nice Pics. My kids have the same cold. Allissa my 10 year old kept me up all night with a runny, then stuffy nose. I would just start to get back to sleep and she would wake me with “mommy”…I too have alot of snow in my area. I could not believe it was so much snow and still falling at 7AM. I think I may go up by the Timpinogos Temple today and look for the Big Horn Sheep, I LOVE UTAH!!!!
We are having the exact same weather. SO much snow! All the schools were closed today. How wonderful to have a 3-day school week
Wow – that snow is so beautiful! We had about an inch and a half this week and school was cancelled. And the snow was all melted by lunch. Hope everyone feels better soon!
I hope you are feeling better by now. How nice that you have a nice hubby who will help with sickies.
Where have I been? I don’t remember this much snow. I think my face must have been stuck in another book. I’ll come out of hibernation in the spring.
You took some great pictures by the way!
Winter wonderland!
