It Snowed!

Last night it snowed! It's actually kind of a slushy, wimpy snow that's good for making nasty orange mud, but it was enough to cancel school, and that's what's important, right? Andy still had to work because linemen work hardest in the weather that most of us don't leave the house for. It's actually a little bit sad because he's never gotten to play with the kids in the snow. Well, not never. There was that time we were driving home from Gatlinburg that we stopped and played in the snow for a little bit. I remember when Drew was a baby and it snowed one time and he mentioned that there was this old guy that he worked with who was close to retirement who said he'd never played in the snow with his kids. Anyways, since he had to get up so early, and I'm used to getting up even earlier, I couldn't go back to sleep, so me and the kids were out in the snow before 8:00. Plus, it was melting pretty quickly, so I knew our time was limited. The kids didn't care that snow around here is always the consistency of a snow cone, because that's all they know, so they loved it. Evan and Alli got cold after about 30 minutes, so we were back in before 8:30. But, it's almost 9:00 now and Drew's still out. She said she was going to the neighbor's house (her teacher) to see if they could play. Both parents over there are teachers, so I hope they were awake! Oh, and while I'm posting (because we all know it'll be a while before it happens again), we've been pushed back another month for our move date. Andy's cousin has run into some more delays with the house they're moving into, so they asked for another month. It's a good thing we haven't sold our house yet, but I'm starting to feel a little silly because people keep asking, "Have you moved yet?" and for 2 months now we've been saying, "not yet." People are going to start thinking we're dillusional liars or something, but I promise, some day we will be moving! Check out the cute little videos below, and me being the cynical mom that I am discouraging everyone from eating snow and making snowmen. It's not my intention to be the party-pooper. I'm just too realistic for my own good I guess.
