Well, it's day 3 of no school. I would have never thought that school would be closed this long. I'm sure the kids are loving it but I'm ready to go back. I think we got about 10 inches total with a nice layer of ice in between. It's not as much as they get back home, but it was a lot in a short period of time and they're just not equipped to handle it down here. I think our street finally got plowed around 6 or 7pm last night. I love the snow, I think it's beautiful, I just wish all of this happened in December.
It's hilarious to see Sammy running around. The snow is so tall that it trips her up and she often takes a nose dive into it. Last night I went outside to get some firewood and she was following me in my footprints. It was so cute to see her jumping from one to the next. She comes in just covered in snow and spends the next several minutes licking it all off.
We also spent awhile yesterday shoveling the vehicles out. Since the garage is being used by "more precious" vehicles, we're parked in front of the house. Although I don't really mind getting out there and shoveling. It doesn't happen often enough for it to be a chore and it's a good little workout. The worst part was chipping all the ice off my car.
Michael took off work yesterday so we could spend some time together. We mostly just relaxed. He built a fire. He's taking off again today (these snow days are cancelling out my normal days off so it's probably our only extra time to spend together) and we might make it a play day. A neighbor was pulling some kids on a sled behind a four wheeler yesterday. Looked a little dangerous but it looked like fun too. It makes me really want to go play in the snow. That's probably the part I miss the most about back home, the snow activities. I miss snowmobiling so badly or even just being able to go out to the golf course for a little tubing. They have places like that down here, but nothing local. I guess we will see what today brings.
