SNOW

We were more than ready when our first snow finally hit West Lebanon this past weekend.  It started on Sunday while we were trying to drive to and from church and continued all night long.  In the end we probably had about 2-3 inches of beautiful white snow blanketing our little town.  

The next morning the school announced late start (2 hours) so that the roads could all be plowed.  That was a huge blessing to me.  First off I hate, that's right hate getting up in the morning.  Secondly, I worked Monday from 11am-11pm, so this gave me several hours of time as a mother with my children.  We had so much fun watching cartoons in the morning, eating a lazy breakfast, and then putting on snow clothes and heading outdoors.  My children love to shovel snow and will spend hours clearing the sidewalks near our house (Eli is not quite so keen on snow and does tend to come inside and hide away).

"Boo-Hoo Buddy" face on Mr E

The only sad thing for Eli was that he REALLY REALLY wanted to build a snowman and we never really got a chance to do this.  

Thank heavens we played that morning though because by afternoon the rain had started and turned everything into a slushy dirty mess.  We are already watching the weather constantly on the look out for another round of snow!
