Blizzard March 2009

FINALLY!!! We have had the driest winter in years - and I mean years! We have been staring at yucky dried up brown grass all winter. That all changed yesterday afternoon! They news kept reporting that a storm was finally coming but when we woke up there was nothing. Larry and I both went to work and the girls went to Juella's. By 9am it was clear the storm was coming and fast! Larry went home first and the girls were at Grandma and Grandpa Dewey's house (Juella's in-laws). I had the carseats so it worked out great - she would just drop them off on their way home - of course we had to agree it was after some play time and Grandma Dewey was making them lunch. I left the office at 11:30 - after the office sent out an alert that travel was not advised after 12:00. It was not a fun drive home - several cars spun off the road and could barely see - Yahoo winter was here!! I got home a little after 1pm and the girls weren't far behind. We hunkered down for the night - couch fort in the living room and all. Friday was an official snow day. We both worked from home and the girls stayed home as well. Larry did a great job keeping the girls occupied so I could work. They had a ton of fun going out when Larry was shoveling. Ashley was a trooper - Hailey tried but it was just too cold. She came in and warmed up - but then tried it again. Next year - better gloves!
