Snow Week...

If you've watched the news this week, you've heard about the crippling snow storm in the Southeast. My mom called me this morning (Friday) and said, "Are you still snowed in?"

The snow came on Sunday/Monday, and we truly could not leave our neighborhood until yesterday. It's been kind of fun, but we've all had a bit of cabin fever. The local news stations have covered the storm 24 hours a day all week. They even pre-empted "The Today Show"! (Those of you that have lived with me or know me well, know that I do not miss "The Today Show".) Schools have been cancelled all week, and the method of treating non-state roads is to let the sun melt the snow and ice, or to use sand instead of rock salt. Kentucky is much better than Georgia when it comes to tackling the winter elements!

Like I said, it's been a fun week. Kyle didn't have to travel to Minneapolis, and Henry and I have had lots of play dates in the neighborhood. But, we are looking forward to some milder, Atlanta winter weather. Sunday's high is 50 degrees...that's more like that.


This is from Monday. Henry and I loaded up the wagon and went to a neighbor's house to play.


Our backyard on Monday morning. We had 6 - 8 inches in most places.


Henry really wanted to go outside.

We spent a lot of time indoors, warm and snugly.
