This winter marks the THIRD one in a row that we haven't had a decent snow storm in our town to shut down school and give the kids a chance to play outside for a few days. This has been a major bummer for all of us as we LOVE having a few snow days and the chance to play in the snow. However, the strangest thing happened today as it started snowing about the time that Ella, Emmett, and I drove to school at 9 a.m. Big snowflakes continued to fall from the sky all morning long and into the early afternoon, but sadly, it never stuck to the ground. Since it was a half day, Logan was able to go over to one of his friend's house to play after school while I continued to sub at the elementary school for two more hours until our school got out. After dropping Ella and Emmett off at the house, I drove over to Jonah's house to pick up Logan at 2:30. Since Jonah's house is on top of a hill, I was so surprised to see that the snow was sticking where he lives! By the time I pulled up into his driveway, Jonah's yard looked like a little winter wonderland. When I went to the front door, I learned from the mom that the boys had built snowman in the yard (in their school clothes) before going in the hot tub. This was the hilarious picture that I got from Jonah's mom after we got back home. And although Ella and Emmett didn't get the chance to play in any snow since there was none in our yard, I am grateful that at least one of our children got to enjoy the snowstorm today!
