this is what we woke up to this morning. i was so hopeful they would cancel school (and the meeting tonight since i have a talk-ha!) but it doesn't look like either one will happen! apparently, there is no icing just snow--and it is beautiful! it is still coming down so fast and the flakes are huge!
this is out my front door:
i usually just take "snow" pictures out my front door and end up with the neighbor's house in my picture. while their house is pretty, i don't particularly want to remember a snowy day this way...so i suited up this morning (i should have taken a picture of what i looked like!) and went across the street to get a picture of our house in the snow.
these awful pear trees even look pretty when they're covered in snow!
by the time i got to the backyard, it was really coming down.
funny story: chris is working from home today since he didn't want to get out in this. when we woke up, i immediately got on the school's website to see if they delayed or closed school. i knew they hadn't since we didn't get a phone call from the automated service, but a girl can always hope! i told chris school was on and since he was staying home, he could drive mckinlee. he couldn't believe they hadn't at least delayed school and said if mckinlee wanted, she could just stay home. i went to wake her up and said that they were having school, but she could stay home if she wanted. do you know what her response was?
"no...i want to go to school. it's p.e. day....and math."
can this possibly be my child?
first, any chance to stay home from school was eagerly received by me.
second, p.e. and math are her deciding factors. really? i mean, maybe english lit or french, but p.e.?
(i told her if she stayed home i would have her run up and down the stairs and we could do lunges, but i guess that doesn't compare to "station day!")
this child continues to surprise and confound me every day!
(judging from the joyful screams and yelps i hear outside right now, apparently the neighborhood kids do not value p.e. and math as much as mckinlee.)
have a good day! (i almost said weekend. see? i'm still a day off!)
LOL....Well, Austin's school district did close today. However, his daycare was opened so that's where he's spending the day today. The roads were not bad at all on the drive in this morning, but it's still coming down in Big D. I'm hoping they let us leave early today and possibly come in later tomorrow. Like you said a girl can dream! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful!
What a nice girl! I hope mine is like that when she goes to school.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful! What kind of camera do you have?
What gorgeous pictures! You were brave to get out and take those shots! Wish I had one of you!!!
ReplyDeleteThat McKinlee--isn't she something!? All I had to do is suggest staying home and it was a welcomed idea--I was the same way!
So thankful about your biopsy!
Hope the weather doesn't prevent you from coming home!
