Snow Day

Well, I finished the first set of questions. One set down, three to go. I didn't answer them as well as I would have liked, but hopefully I passed them. I know I'll be seeing them again when I have my orals. I have had such a hard time staying awake and focused lately. I'm haven't been narcoleptic, but incredibly drowsy. And then at 2 a.m. I'm wide awake. Go figure. I crashed this afternoon after emailing my answers back to the prof. Nothing like a nice 3 hour power nap snuggled up beside the boys and the M.R.S. We were able to do that because...

It snowed today! We appear to have missed much of the sleet/frozen rain that was predicted, but then again, I was asleep and now it's dark. Maybe outside my door is a landscape of ice and snow a la Narnia. Anyway, when I woke up from my nap this morning around 6:30, this is what I saw...



I woke Nick up because he's been wanting it to snow since December. Needless to say he was quite thrilled. Then the realization that school was cancelled hit him and a huge Cheshire-catlike grin filled his face... Around 5:15 Noah comes bouncing down the stairs. Nick grabs the camera, I pick Nick up and place him in the window and...





The boys break their necks trying to get dressed and rush outside to get their obligatory play in! Since I can't leave them unattended (thanks predators!) I stop working on my exam to supervise them for a while. I guess I can't complain - seeing their joy made it all worthwhile.




Afterwards, I returned to my test, and the boys warmed up with some hot chocolate topped with whipped cream.




And then the M.R.S. woke up. You missed out homie!

It didn't start snowing here until after 4am. We were glad that UGA canecelled so that Rebecca didn't have any reservations about not going. They seemed to have had a lot of accidents near the SC/GA line.

It looks like Noah enjoyed the snow. Is this the first time he's been able to play in snow? I believe it's the first snow here since he was born, but didn't know if he has been in it elsewhere. Anyway, hope the exams turn out well...or should I say, I hope the answers turn out well?

that's great! All little kids should get to experience the joy of playing in the snow :)
