Snow, snow and more snow

It's been a wild, wintery ride these last couple of weeks.

We were hit with snow, an unusual amount of snow.

It was fun to see the flakes falling from the sky.

It was fun to sled, inner tube, build snowman and have snowball fights.

It was fun to stay home from school, have extended playdates, 

stay up late and watch movies and drink hot chocolate.

It was fun to take walks, play games, hunker down inside and stay warm by the fire.

All of these were fun...

Until it was starting to get not so fun. 

Day after day of no school or late starts due to the snow, ice and then finally slush.

The kids were out of school for a very long time.

6 whole days + several 2-hour delays.

It was interesting to see how people prepared for the storms and stocked up.

Grocery store shelves were bare.

Firewood was gone and so were bananas!

Mom and Dad were ready for routine to resume.

We enjoyed the snow but it was time for it to go.

Until next time...
