Monday we woke up to about 3 inches of snow on the ground and more falling fast (we probably got 2-4 more inches during the morning for a total of 7 inches in all)in big huge flakes that reminded us of being in Utah--not the usual skiff Arkansas is known to get and have not last very long. Well, we went out, built a snowman, made snow angels, and had a snowball fight. Then Jordan made a snow seat complete with foot rest and Spencer built his own mini snowman. Even Sidnie had fun being out in the snow. The power went out around 1 pm and didn't come back on until half way through trying to make dinner by candle light on our gas stove. (We were getting cold and very thankful to have the power back on.) We were maybe going to get more snow Monday night and school was cancelled for Tuesday as well, even though we didn't get much new snow--maybe a skiff. James didn't have work for those two days either and we had fun playing together as a family. Wednesday no new snow, but the wet stuff melting some during the day and then freezing at night causes black ice spots and school was cancelled again. Work was delayed 2 hours for James. Today (Thursday, we still aren't having school because all of the rural roads in our school district are NOT open and some kids might not be able to make it. CRAZY! There is no reason to not have school today and we are adding more and more days that will have to be made up sometime. The Little Rock school district is having school today and on Monday, instead of the planned President's Day holiday. I hope our school district gets things together. I love having some fun days, but this is past crazy. Be lenient on the kids who can't get to school and give them time to make up the work, but let's get back to class.
