snow day!

Well, as it is in the south, any threat of snow causes panic and pandemonium. Suddenly every one feels the need to stock up on bread, milk and eggs and promptly forgets how to drive....hence the reason for an early dismissal yesterday at school. No worries, we had plenty of time to drop my car off at the shop, pick up some firewood and head home to wait for the snow.

Ben loves the snow and has spent every possible moment he can outside.

I forget that Otto doesn't have the furry coat like Kojak did. He had fun romping around for a short while, but then whined to go back inside to the warmth of the fire.

check out that devious look as he's aiming a snowball at me!


One of the advantages to having a sloped driveway is it is tons of fun to slide down on a piece of cardboard


that is, until the dog attacks :)


and just because I think it's pretty


We have a nice coating from overnight, maybe an inch total so we'll be pulling on our boots and heading back out to play!
