Winter Wonderland!

I know we are waaaaaay past Christmas time, but it is still winter. And today, I'm in my very own Winter Wonderland!!! SCHOOL WAS CANCELED!!!
The kids already had the day off, but we were supposed to have in-service. The weather didn't allow it though. SO, YEAH FOR THE WEATHER! It started snowing at about 4 am on Thursday morning (yesterday) and didn't stop until about 10pm. Then the temperature dropped and froze the melted snow. So, the roads weren't so good. And I pray for those that had to drive on them this morning, but the landscape of it all is BEAUTIFUL!





AND, I AM SO GREATFUL FOR THE DAY OFF OF SCHOOL . . . AND WITH MY SON!!!
He even got to wear his tiger bear (that's what we're calling it) outfit to help keep him warm and comfy throughout the day (with mommy)!


I didn't realize how much I missed him until this morning when I didn't have to drop him off. The strong me that has been taking him and dropping him off at the nanny's for the past three weeks+ just regressed back to a sad mother who misses her boy and all the time that has passed! It makes me want to cry . . . so moving on . . .

There is snow almost a foot thick, and the news says that it is definitely a record breaker for the area! This is my foot stepping into the snow on our front lawn this morning - it really sank right in!!!


The snowflakes were huge yesterday and made a beautiful scene to photograph. The students were all upset that they couldn't stay outside and play in it though - don't really blame them, because I wanted to do the same thing!
And I got to - this morning! Augie was sleeping, so I decided to get it out of my system while I could! I even made Gus come out and get a picture with me.



And OF COURSE you can't have snow without a snow . . . family!!! I woke up with the idea and had to follow through. Button eyes, hershey kiss noses, our real hats, scarves, gloves, beer?!, and pacifier! We did have to think quick and put it all together before Augie woke up, but it turned out GREAT!!!

WITH THE CREATORS:



What a wonderful, wonderful morning! Our outside playtime was followed by (cleaning house) spending time with Augie, enjoying him falling asleep in my arms, getting lots of smiles and giggles while playing to our new set of sing-a-long CDs, and we still have the rest of the day (with mommy)!!!
Like I said . . . a REAL WINTER WONDERLAND!!!
