Snow Day #2


Yes, school is out again today. The forecast is calling for a winter storm advisory with 2-4 inches of snow tonight, so that probably means no school tomorrow. It is reallllly cold so the snow can't melt and the kids can't stay outside for long without becoming popsicles. I am beginning to think that the most common phrase since I have been here is, "This is not usual weather for . . . (summer/fall/winter)" Everyone said the summer was more mild than usual, the fall more wet than usual, and the winter colder than they can ever remember. I am starting to think people are lying to me. We've got the gamecube going, books are being devoured, and the teasing is escalating. I'm glad I bought the big can of hot chocolate on my last visit to Walmart. Ron commented that it is in the 70's in AZ and that didn't help my frozen mindset at all. Anyway, with how things are going, we will have no vacation days left for the rest of the school year.

Yikes! Vacation days should be saved for outside days, not inside days.

I was so excited to see on your Christmas card that there is another little one on the way. Congrats! You guys are adorable.

Who would have believed it! I found some $39 fares for the end of January so I'm starting to have hope of lower ones to come.

Why don't you just come visit? I mean, you're not in school so come here. We're not much warmer, but... I'm here. =)
