Snow Day (official this time!)

Yeah, we awoke to heavy snow this morning, and no school for the girls. Diane was going to work from home, but a boss from the county called and said that they wouldn't pay her unless she came in (which would take about 4 hours - with chains!). So she has the day off too. After and hour and a half of not reaching anyone at my work, I called the Rheinlander, and they told me to go to work anyway, cause the chef and GM were on their way, but stuck in traffic. On my way in, Ben called me and told me not to come in. Grrr. Luckily, the roads (sidestreets to be sure) were no problem for the Montero...did I mention it's for sale? Anyway, I challenged some neighborhood kids to an all out snowball fight, and we gathered by the Brown's and had a small war and did some sledding. Michaela bailed out first to go home and make hot chocolate. It ended for me when Hannah poured snow down my pants and up my shirt. She came home a bit later screaming from the cold. Diane took the cats outside to check out the snow. Lucy liked it and would have stayed out to explore, but Susan did not like it at all! All in all, a fun time, and we're nice and warm inside now!
