It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas!

Our very cold wintry temps
led to even more fun
over the weekend
when a snowstorm
breezed through town!
 
 
We ended up with about 6 inches
of the fluffy white-stuff!
It was not the kind of snow that
works for snowballs or
Olaf-inspired snowmen,
but so pretty!
 
 
Maddy and Muffy had a blast running around in the snow
while I shoveled our walk
and our neighbors' walk too.
Back in the dark ages when I was young,
when it snowed, we grabbed shovels 
and headed out to make some cash
shoveling walks for people.
Nobody does that anymore -
so sad, the old
traditions that snowblowers have destroyed!
 
 
Maddy
(and every other school-aged
kid in the city)
hoped for a snow day today.
I thought they might get one as the temp was
a lovely -6 this morning, but no
such luck! 
Bundle up kids-
there's learning
to be done!  :)
