Snow Day

Today was our first snow day of 2011. This was also the first time I had to try to drive to the airport for work. Regarding that topic, it will also be the last time I go to the office when it is snowing. What a freaking mess!! I can work from home and if I did not have to get one very important thing done I would have turned around. Okay, on with something of more interest.

We left early and when we all got home we started in on the driveway. This is a very light snow, which is good when you are a shoveler. We have some good helpers around here so it went really fast.

This is really the first time that Addi has been helpful with a shovel with any significant benefit. I have to say she still has a way to go because she shoveled her little row right off the driveway, across the street, and down the cul-de-sac. When you tell her to clear snow you better mean it!!

After the driveway is clear we are good to go on sledding!!! We love to sled, or at least in theory we love to sled. Addi does great until that first push. Then she is all screams, and not the joyful type. Addi loves to make snow angels but she hates to do it when it is still snowing because it gets in her face. It is to snow all evening and into the night so hopefully we can make some angels tomorrow.

oHHHH, KCMO just cancelled for tomorrow and so did Lee's Summit? Could we get two snow days in a row? I so hope for Luke's sake. That means he can play in the snow whenever he wants and how ever long he wants tomorrow .....I am so crossing my fingers
