It's a snow day!

at 5:37 this morning I got a text from our local radio station that school was closed today.  I was excited and the girls even more so. They were counting on it last night as Todd and I were trying to get them to go to sleep.

  We got to be lazy and eat breakfast, then Laura texted and said Barrett was asking about us so we decided to go over and play with them for awhile.  I hauled my laptop over and talked Valentine cards with Laura while the kids ran around the house and giggled and had a blast.  We were there almost  two hours maybe and the car was covered with fluffly powdery snow. We ended up going to Wal-mart afterwards, Emily had a gift card still and wanted to buy a new game for her DSi.  When we left there it was scary, the parking lot was snow covered and I almost ran over the man gathering carts, he beat my back window with his fist to let me know he was there I almost peed my pants. This snow was getting deep and it was hard to keep the windshield cleared I was never so thankful to not have very far to drive. 

We've been cozy in the house ever since and I finally decided to work my blog over it was getting VERY dusty! I had the biggest plans in January to blog regularly. It didn't happen but today somehow I got inspired and I hope I can get on a roll.  Over the past few months I could have blogged more but I was busy with both girls birthdays, Thanksgiving with all my family, a wonderful Christmas,  lots of odd jobs, working at the school, and sadly we had to move my sweet grandma Betty to a nursing home. Grandmas alzheimers is really taking its toll. My poor grandpa is so lonely at home without her, my mom and I have tried to go with him pretty regularly to visit her. It is not easy.  

Tonight we are invited to go to our neighbors for supper and laughs so glad we can just walk.
