Real snow!

We finally received some REAL snow here. Having grown up in MN, I just can't hardly stand being cold with out snow, and lots of it. We got between 4 and 6 inches in the last 2 days and it is a logistical nightmare for those who have to clean it up or anyone who has to get anywhere, but I love it!

Erik was asking if we were getting more tonight, or how long this would last. It looks like temps won't get too high till Saturday, so we will have it at least a few more days. Joe is coming home from work a little early today to go sledding with the boys. Since my motto is "There are no 'snow days' in Home school," I have been generous and let them sleep in an extra hour the last two days and come to school late. We haven't heard yet if the public school will be in session tomorrow or not.

Promise of a great year ahead


We were driving home the other day and this rainbow was over the whole interstate. It was so bright and we could see the whole thing. Joe snapped this picture of it when we got home.
