First Snow!

Our power went out at 6 a.m. luckily our alarm system beeps when the power goes out so that wakes us up. Someone probably slid off the road and hit a power poll (it was snowing). From our bedroom window we can look across the fields and see the school bus lot. So we knew school was not canceled because they still had electric at their buildings.

Mike scraped the snow off his car and made this little snow man for the girls. After breakfast we fixed him up with cheerio eyes, a pumpkin seed nose, dried cranberry mouth, spaghetti arms and an acorn top hat. Then the kids each took turns getting their picture taken with him.Is it me or does our snowman resemble "Mr. Bill"?

Our little kindergarten friend Ayva comes over to hang out with Paige and Megan until the bus comes. That way her mom does not have to bundle her two year old sister up and stand in the cold. Don't ya just love her little blue fur collar on her coat? She looks like a little Eskimo pie!
