Snow Day 2012...

On Monday, February 20th we had our first and only snow of the winter.  The girls were already out of school for President's Day so they did not miss a scheduled school day.  Unfortunately, Tony had to go to work so he was not able to enjoy it with us.  We got almost an inch of snow and it was great for making snowballs and snowmen.  The temperature warmed up quickly so it did not last long.  Since we knew it would melt quickly, the girls headed out at 8:30 am.  A high school neighbor, Meghan, and her little brother, Mark, locked themselves out of their house so they came up to play with the girls.  They played for a long time and then I had them come in for hot chocolate and to warm up.  Then, they headed down to Meghan's house to play some more and was able to get into the house so they had lunch over there.  They ended up playing the rest of the day at Meghan's and I finally had to call them home at 3:30.  I got an amazing amount of house work done that day and decided it needs to snow more often. :)

 We woke up to a beautiful blanket of snow.

 I thought this bench looked neat with the snow on it.

 Later in the day, Regan made a miniature snowman out of the remaining snow on the side of our house.  This was the only area of the yard that still had snow due to the shade.
