SNOW.M.G.

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon about Mother Nature! :) We ended up getting 6 inches of snow Tuesday night & into Wednesday morning, so I enjoyed a nice snow day at home on Wednesday. My mom arrived on Thursday evening (YAY!) just in time to witness our 2nd snowpocalypse of the season. The reason my mom was flying in this weekend was to go to school with me today to meet my kiddos and then to see the Talent Show tonight...both of which did not happen! All the schools in the area were closed today in preparation of the big snow storm coming in...by the time it's all said and done on Saturday evening, we're supposed to have 20-30 inches!!! WHAT?! That is a crazy amount of snow..that's even more than what we got in the Blizzard of 2009!

But don't worry, we've already got Derek's handy-dandy snow gauge set up outside on our balcony. Here's Flat Stanley (courtesy of one of my cousins doing a project with the book in school) posing with the gauge pre-snowpocalypse.
Although I know my mom would have really enjoyed going to school today, we had a nice time together at home doing nothing.at.all. Just good quality bonding time. :) When Derek got home mid-afternoon, we trekked up to the movie theater (about a half-mile from our condo) to see Dear John...but they had just closed due to the weather! Ugh! So we stopped by the grocery store on our way back and picked up some fixins for dinner (what a mad house the grocery stores are...no bread left anywhere...you'd think we're still in GA!). So Derek & I are vegging out by the fireplace while my mom cooks up her famous meatloaf for us...life doesn't get any better than this!

It's been snowing here since about 10am, but it's just really starting to accumulate out there now. We've only got a few inches so far, but the brunt of the storm will be coming in overnight....so check back in tomorrow for more on Snowpocalypse 2010!
