The Day The Snow Didn't Fall

Yeah, Yeah....heard it all before. BIG SNOW coming. Gonna skip school, build a snowman, make snow angels, have a snowball fight. But...we live in the Southeast... and the only real snow we ever get is in our dreams.

Yesterday and today were the same old story. We were told to expect some snow. We stocked up on bread and milk (why, don't know - but my friend Jenni who lives in real snow country does it so I thought I had better be prepared!) and waited anxiously for the snow to drift in and cover us up. We awoke to NO SNOW. Clear sky -- and a little chilly nip to the air. Honestly it was colder earlier in the week. But ever diligent, our school system gave us a two hour delay for school - which was not really a welcomed idea to this mommy who only gets one day off a week (today) and it was shortened by two child-free hours!

To fill the time between breakfast and school we decided to build our own indoor snowman...not nearly as much fun, but he will last a bit longer!

cute. I enjoyed the 1 hour delay we had in Richmond Co. I was actually able to get a shower, fix my coffee and eat breakfast. It was nice.
