Winter Storm Pax

Can you believe Georgia now has had two winter storms within a couple of weeks?  This time the city was prepared... schools have been closed since Tuesday, people are staying off the roads, and thankfully Justin has been working from home.  We haven't left the house since Monday and it's been fabulous!  I'm not one for snow and cold weather but it sure is fun when it's so rare and everyone gets stuck at home together.

It started on Tuesday with rain, freezing rain, and a tiny bit of snow.  Wednesday it was freezing rain and sleet ALL day and then last night it turned to snow.  We got in some play time outside this morning before the big thaw.  It's melting like crazy!  That's the other thing I love about winter here.. in the rare occasion that it does snow, it's gone within a day or two!

Snow!

It was fun to have snow to play in while we were in Iowa and equally as fun to say goodbye to it and return to the land of 50 degree winters!

The girls had fun playing in it and Claire is excited to return to preschool to tell all her four-year-old friends who have never seen snow all about her adventures.

Even though I don't love snow...

...my kids do!  So, I decided to embrace the snow-falling-all-day-long day for the sake of my girls (and because, really, what other choice do I have??).  We stayed home (and in our jammies!) all day long, had a festive lunch, and even ventured outside for a few minutes after Daddy got home.

Snowman sandwiches for lunch!


Don't judge me on the lack of perfection... this was a total spur of the moment idea! ;)

SNOW!


Pure joy.

Blizzard of 2011

We woke up to quite the storm on Wednesday morning!  I think the snow total was around 13-15 inches.  Crazy!!  We have the tiniest driveway and it still took Justin 2 and 1/2 hours to shovel it.  Our neighbor even came over to help with his snow blower.  It was just nuts!!

Although I'm not a fan of cold and snow, I must admit that it was all pretty exciting!
Somewhere in there is our street.  It was hard to tell the difference between driveway, yard, and street.

Holy blizzard batman!

Claire had a front row seat watching Daddy shovel!

Pretty girl!

Claire is really into activities, as she calls them, lately!  Here was our snowy day activity.. playing with rice, warm and cozy inside!
