Snow day!!
By 6:45 this morning, I'd already had 4 phone calls letting me know today was a snow day. Yea!! The snow started coming down pretty good last night about 6:00 or so. It would have been great if we could have stayed home and enjoyed it, but we were supposed to be at Dennis' at 7:00 for Robb's birthday dinner. My mom came up for her weekly Tuesday visit, and since she has AWD and I don't, we took her car. We finally made it to Dennis' driveway (which is extremely steep) after poking along a road that was completely white with snow. We made it up the driveway a bit and then the tires started spinning. She tried backing down but kept sliding. Luckily she had some cat litter in the car and we used that to help get traction. She made it up about halfway as I'm running along side the car (yeah, that's a visual for you!) and then went off the side of the driveway into the mud. Bret had to finally come and pull us up the rest of the way. (Thank goodness for cell phones!!) Needless to say my mom was not a happy camper.....especially considering the day before she was laying on a beach in Mexico working on her tan!! This morning we only have a dusting left, but the kids don't care. Here is a picture of Briana making a snow ball and then throwing it at the sliding door we were looking out of. Hope everyone else enjoys their day today. I know we're going to!!!
