Snow Day

As you can guess we don't get much snow ever in Charlotte!  But a 'big' storm was coming, so the weather forecasters were saying, it was set to hit at 3pm on Tuesday.  The kids got out of school at 1130am on Tuesday but by then the forecast had already changed, snow was coming around 5pm.  My boys were so excited we got out the snow gear, 5pm came, no snow.  Now the snow was suppose to come our way at 7pm and it did a few flakes but not enough to play in.  We got 'the call' at 715, school was cancelled for Wednesday.  But that is typical here, if there is a flake of snow schools are cancelled, issue is there are no built in snow days so days off will have to be made up.  But the kids dont care they just are excited to have the day off. We woke up the next morning to about 1/2 inch of snow and ice.  We will take it!!

The hill in our neighborhood just didn't have enough snow to sled down so in the southern way of  sledding, we took to the streets and rode down the street that was a sheet of ice!

The boys spent the entire day outside, running through the neighborhood and going from friends house to friends house.  They would come in to dry off, get some hot chocolate and food and then out again.  Ryan loves his cloths right out of the dryer!  We live in a great neighborhood!  At one point I counted at least 22 kids sliding down the hill in front of our house.  It was definitely a SNOW DAY!

Well, we get to do it all over again, no school again today!  However most of the snow/ice is gone.
