Snow Day!

Over 20 inches of snow and still coming down as I write this! It came early this year. On Wednesday, our's was the only school district that didn't cancel classes. Matt's high school got out early at 12:30 as conditions were worsening throughout the day. Middle schools got out at 1:30 and Elementary schools got out at regular times. We walked back from the kids' school to our house in the snow so they could get some snow-exercise. Howie seemed to love the snow the most and even played in the snow outside after dinner until 7:30. We got the news about Thursday's school closure in the evening and today had fun playing inside and outside, making Halloween costumes, and eating chili with chips. Now we are wondering if they will make us go to school on Friday. Here are some outdoor snow playing pictures:

Donovan and Howie playing "king of the mountain" with the snow Matt piled up shoveling the driveway.

Matt's car deep in the snow. He dug it out today just in case we have school tomorrow.

Donovan is happy about the snow day.

Even if there is no school, they can still have P.E. class outside.

I think the total over here was 16 inches and no snow day for us.

I don't even know what your kids are being for Halloween. Still a fence?

Glad you are enjoying the snow and no school. But what about trick or treating?
