Snow Snow Go Away, Come Again Another Day! (like January 2016)

And, its official, I am completely and totally OVER winter.  Done.  Though it doesn't seem to be done with us.  And, to think, a few weeks ago I really believed we were going to get through this winter with no snow!  I mean, if you ask me, the 3 days of snow we had last year (at about this same time!) was enough to last us for a couple of years!  

So last week we had ice.  Thankfully it came in the form of sleet, not freezing rain, so we avoided losing our power at least.  Ice stinks, unless you're 6 and think its fun and want to play in it.  We managed to slide over to a neighbor's house the first "snow day" without breaking anything!

Later that day Kate, accompanied by her protector, spent some time playing in the backyard.  Mommy and Anna Clare opted out - it was cold!

Then we spent the remainder of the 2 days at home trying out some indoor activities.  Some of which were great.  Others of which left a certain 2 year old looking a bit like a smurf!

 

So after two "snow days" and two mornings of delayed school starts we had one day back on our routine.  One glorious morning of dropping Kate off at school at 7:45.  Then it snowed again.  Only this time it was a dusting that was laughable - yet schools were closed again.  Sigh.  The problem with Greenville County is that it goes way north into towns that are almost in the mountains!  And they get snow up there.  So we get days like today.  A snow day with very little snow.  

Ridiculous right - no school for this!?!  The best part of the day was that Anna Clare's preschool still opened!  Ha - take that Greenville County schools!  So Kate and I dropped Anna Clare off at school and went about our day running errands.

But before we headed out, both girls spent a little time shoveling snow on the back deck!

And it seems as if the next (and hopefully last) snow "event" as they like to call them in the south, is headed our way.  Supposedly we will be getting several inches of snow again tomorrow night.  Fingers crossed all the weather people are wrong and both girls are at school on Thursday.  But just in case they're not mistaken about the forecast, we have lots of milk & bread.  (and alcohol - when was the last time you were locked in a house for several days with 2 screaming children?)

At this point I'm seriously ready for summer!
