Got a Call from the Superintendent Today

I guess he didn't realize that we HOMESCHOOL. It cracked me up! It was one of those robo-calls informing the county school system parents that school would be closing today (Thursday) at 1 pm and re-opening at 10 am on Friday. Because it might snow. Might. The boys were thrilled--an official call stating that they did not have to do any school work after 1 pm! (As if I listen to the Superintendent anyway! We march to a different drummer, that's why we homeschool!)

.

We did get some snow, but not until 6 pm, long after the early school dismissal. Some parts of the county roads will be icy in the morning, so the 10 am opening makes sense. This is the part of the country that freaks out when there's any hint of snow. I guess New Orleans and Houston really freaked out!

.

We got 2 good inches here, the most since JT was 3. That's since 1999! So what did we do? We went out in the dark and played in it! the nature of snow in Alabama is that it will melt very soon, so we didn't want to take a chance and wait until morning. It might be all gone by then!

These first two pictures aren't that good but they show the HUGE, ENORMOUS snowflakes we got and look at the shadows they cast!!

Camera set to the "night setting." So it's a bit blurry.

Look! The snowman's taller than Luci! Good, wet, sticky snow.

My angels making angels.

Resting in the "snow fort."

Did I mention that we played in the DARK?!
