Valentine's Day

The kids were scheduled to be off anyway on Valentine's day but they also got the day before off because of, yes, more snow.  Plus with today being a scheduled day off for President's Day they've had a 5 day weekend.  

Zach braved the cold to go play in the snow some more.  I'm beginning to think this snow is permanent! 
I gave the kids a lollipop moustache valentine which they were quick to show off for me.

I really just made them for the photo ops!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Happy 14th Birthday Megan!

Can you believe that Megan is 14 already?  The birthday girl wanted to go to Red Robin for her birthday dinner.  So of course that's where we went.   By the time dinner was over and then dessert, guess what?, it had started snowing again.  At this point it doesn't even surprise me.
So we go home and open presents.

Then have cake, cheesecake to be exact.  (I have no idea why she's wearing a different sweater!)
That weekend she wanted to have some of her friends over so yet another cake, this one she made herself.
I hope you had a happy birthday Megan!

More Snow

We've seen so much snow this winter.  They were predicting quite a bit of snow on Jan. 21st but my kids' school district decided not to cancel since it wasn't supposed to start snowing until late morning.  Well it started hours earlier than they predicted.  The school's had an early dismissal which was okay for the girls because they were home by noon.  Poor Zach though wasn't scheduled to get out until 1:30 which was when the snow was heaviest.  His bus was over an hour late and here's what our neighborhood roads looked like  right after he got dropped off at the bus stop.  
Paul went down with the sled and pulled him home in it.

The kids ended up not having school the next day, the 22nd, and even having an hour delay on the 23rd.  At least Zach got a day off to play in the snow.  Too bad it was so cold that no one wanted to go out with him!  Even he didn't stay out long.
A little over a week later and we got even more snow.  When is this going to end?  In fact I'm losing count at how many snow days they've had.

I am SO ready for spring!
