Snowed In!

Yesterday was day three of being snowed in!  Dave was all ready to go in to work today, but was awaiting word from his boss this morning.  The news arrived at 6.30 that his boss could not make it out of his own neighborhood!  Welcome to GA where it takes more than 3 days to get rid of 4 inches of snow.  To be fair, all the snow has turned to ice now, so I feel somewhat sorry for the DOT.  And so Dave left the house at 11 to make it into work for a noon opening, but as soon as he left our neighborhood he was called again with news that his office was going to remain closed again.  It shall be interesting to see what today holds, but at this rate we might have the whole week off!

Yesterday we kept the kiddos inside because it was too icy and slippery to go outside, but Tuesday we hit the hill with all the neighborhood kids again.  This time our wonderful neighbors broke out their 44+ year old "flexible flyers".  Now those are some serious sleds!  That is what I was riding when I ran into the tree (when I was 4).  We enjoyed a long morning on the hill (since it was not sleeting, like it was on Monday when we were trying to sled).





True did not get in on the sledding action, but enjoyed being outside with everyone.  And one of our wonderful neighbors even made us all hot chocolate with marshmallows!  I did not partake in the hot cocoa action, but the girls LOVED it!  Thanks Ed and Cammie and Dianne!  We live in the best neighborhood EVER!

Those sleds look AWESOME! Was the sled in the tree thing a major thing? Sounds like a big deal at 4.
