SEVERE WEATHER

I guess I should have checked the news before heading to school this morning! McCanless and I pulled into a completely deserted THA parking lot at 7:50 AM. We quickly made a U-turn and headed home for a SNOW DAY! Daddy headed to work and the girls and I headed out to eat breakfast. I figured it was the “safest” time to venture out…before it was too icy! (You know we Southerners can’t drive in ice and snow!)

We had a fun day of being “junky” as McCanless would say. We had a late breakfast, made cupcakes for lunch, took a long nap, headed out in the snow a few times, and watched the Inaugural events on television all day. It was a wonderfully lazy January snow day!

The view from inside, which was just enough for us!

McCanless loved checking on her playset during the day and seeing the snow pile up. She would run to her room and yell, “I think it is up to 3 inches now!” (She heard the weather man tell us that we could have 3 inches.)

Mary Clare found a baby in the toaster when we were making cupcakes!

The inauguration was interrupted several times by a severe weather alert! Only in the South would an inch of snow be deemed severe!

I am in shock that it snowed in Hartsville! It’s funny b/c everybody’s blog has their kids playing in the snow! I tell ya, I am squeezing every bit of warmth out of Cali. b/c once we move to DC, we’ll get plenty of cold (eeewwwww). BTW, loved the bday pics and the girls making cupcakes and especially the green paint in MC’s ear (haha)! You have sooooooooo much fun with your girls… you are such a fun Mom!!!
