Snow Days

About a week ago we started hearing that snow was in the forecast. You have to understand that snow here in W. Kentucky is pretty rare, so people take it VERY seriously. The night before the snowstorm Walmart was cleaned out. Seriously--no bread, no milk, no bananas. Everyone was preparing for the worst! The storm came and with it came a whopping 2 in. of snow (obviously I am being a little sarcastic here :)). School was canceled for 2 days. I realize that my friends and family in UT are totally laughing right now, but you have to understand that the whole county only has one snow plow, so it kind of paralyzes the city. Regardless, I still think it is pretty funny. We had a fun couple of days hanging out at home.





It was freezing, so the kids were only outside for about 15 min. They decided that the snow isn't all it is cracked up to be. Hopefully we will be able to visit UT during the winter so that the kids will be able to make real snow angels. I hope everyone is enjoying winter. We are already looking forward to spring!

Hey, same story here. It "snows" once every few years or so, and snow means a dusting. It cracks me up how everyone freaks out. My kids too think it's overrated...LOL

Amy, Sorry I missed you on facebook. We keep getting hit with these little snow "storms" too. Like each time our basement floor is about to be poured, we get more snow and another week's delay.
Hope you are all well. Do we get to see you all this year?
