snow days

 We've been seeing snow since Saturday.  The weekend and Monday/Tuesday there wasn't too much but we saw a lot Wednesday and despite predictions of rain today all we saw was more snow.  Since we don't get all that much snow around here basically everything shuts down.  
Getting Kjella out in the snow is a little tricky because it involves getting dressed.  But once she's out there she loves it.  I must have asked her twenty times yesterday if she wanted to go out and play and was only met with "no, thank you" or "it's too cold" and my favorite was when she didn't say anything just crossed her arms and pretended to shiver.  But today I was able to talk her into getting dressed and going out with promises of snow angels.
 Not sure where she saw or heard about these but she loves them.  Between us we probably made a dozen.  "Your angel is so beautiful Mama", made me smile.
 Snowballs were thrown.
 We tried to make a snowman but failed miserably, the snow was way too powdery.
 Thankfully I've had the last couple days off so have been able to stay home but John's been heading to work.  That guy loves to drive in the snow, I'm sure he had to test the handling of the car by doing some donuts.  He was able to get off early today so we were able to make a run to the store for milk and stop for some pho for lunch.
 Best lunch on a cold day.
 The backroads of our neighborhood were pretty empty besides some kids sledding and this guy who didn't want to miss his daily jog.
Who knows how long it will stick around?
