Snowflakes are kisses from heaven. ~Author Unknown
So everyone knows that teachers get excited over certain things...the first day of school, seeing the "AHA" moments, seeing children read, Christmas break, and.....SNOW!! Teachers surely were blessed this past week!! The weather man was calling for 8-10 inches for Monday, January 10. I didn't quite believe that that was actually going to happen. However, I still got out with the loonies to get my bread and milk (a pint!). I tried to wait up for the snow Sunday night, but didn't make it. But when I woke up on Monday morning, it was a winter wonderland! At 8:00 am on Monday, we had 6 inches on our back deck, and it was still snowing!! After all was said and done, the snow (and ice) turned our world into a beautiful world of white! Plus, it got us out of school for an entire week! I enjoyed the time off with Christopher...we were snowed in together for 4 days straight!! Thank you God for the beautiful snow!

| Christopher sledding in our back yard. After almost running into a fence numerous times and stopping right before being dumped in the creek, Christopher decided that he needed a bigger and better adventure. We were off to find a HUGE hill to sled down! |
 |
| I wasn't kidding...we walked to Mama and Daddy's house and neighborhood to try to find the ULTIMATE hill. |
 |
| On the way down Belcher Road...thought this was pretty! |
 |
| I went ADD on the walk...it's not everyday that I walk uphill in 6 feet of snow both ways. On a lighter note...I made me a hat before leaving!! Ain't it pretty? |
 |
| We found the hill! It was HUGE! We had a great time...until we realized that we had to walk back up the hill... |
 |
| Just to let you know...I told him NOT to push me... |
 |
| I was so cold.. for some reason I do not sled gracefully. The sled dumped me off and I was cold and wet. |
 |
| Christopher was so mad that people had driven on the road...it ruined the sled path! We had to find another hill... |
 |
| The lovies and Buster. I enjoyed spending this time with my hubby so much! He makes everything fun!! |

ReplyDeleteAmy- Yes I made the hat. I was so proud. I have started my crocheting journey again. I am working on a quilt now. We'll see how that turns out...
