We have SNOW!!!!

To say we have snow is an understatement! This isn't the Blizzard of 77' however by Virginia Beach standards it qualifies. The most snow this town has seen in over 20 years! The kids had a blast in it. The youngest has never had the opportunity to play in it much less seen the ground covered in it so Saturday and Sunday was definately a day to watch the kids play in it, from the window of course. Growing up in Ohio, I have learned to appreciate it from inside.

I woke up to the sound of the dogs whining to go outside for their morning ritual. As I opened the door, the largest one (about 100 lbs) comes galloping at full speed towards the backdoor. When it got to it and saw the snow, he looked like a cartoon where the carpet is bunching up under his feet to avoid touching it. I had to trick him into going outside before he would touch it! lol, When he finally went out, all three of them had a blast tackling each other in it. Poor Cleo and Gabe had snow up to their bellies in some parts of the yard but that didn't stop them from pouncing on my behemoth of a dog!

Watching the kids was even funnier! The second the oldest opened the door she had snowballs coming at her from 4 different locations. In about 1 minute all 4 of the kids were rolling all over each other, wrestling in the snow, rolling down our mini-hill in one giant cluster. If we were on a higher hill or a mountain it would have looked exactly like a cartoon where someone goes down the hill ending up as a giant snow ball! It is funny, we are the only ones on the street that have 4 snow forts for snow ball fights. There is one snowman, down the road complete with a brown toupee and a broom and a long sock for a scarf.

There was no school today for the locals due to some still having power outages and frozen streets still. Tonight is supposed to be more rain/snow and it is all supposed to freeze over again. The public schools have announced another snow day tomorrow. I hope work does the same. A four day weekend is nice no matter how they come about.
