Snow Day

Yesterday was the rarest of days in my children's school district (mine, too!): a snow day. We woke up to about 4 inches of snow, which is usually just enough to get us a day off school. We all have to make up the day later, but who cares? And if the forecast for today is shaping up like the people on the news are saying, today might be a second snow day in a row!

Here's the view from the back of our house:

The girls got to get out into the snow and play. And since we've moved, there are kids their own age right on the street with us, so that means that a) the girls don't have to play with just each other and b) Lisa and I don't have to go out in the snow with them. Yesterday the girls had a snowball fight with some neighborhood kids.

First the rules were established...

...and then the fighting began!

I'll post more pictures of the fight to our family album in a few days. Each girl got a few good shots in.
