Okay, the snow can leave now

Another snow day for Wake County schools, so we're home today. They expected roads to be very icy this morning and it's just 16 degrees now!!! YIKES!!! NCSU had a delay, but I'm working from home today since Ian is home from school.

Cailean got home from work yesterday and we headed back outside for round two in the snow. It's nice to look at, but I'm ready for the warmer weather and the snow can leave. hahahaha

Oh, Gavin said a really funny thing yesterday. We were watching the Obama inauguration (are you impressed Aunt Cynthia???!!! hee hee) yesterday and when they announced Aretha Franklin, Gavin puts his fist up in the air and yells, "Franklin!!!" Yes, he thought the turtle that is named Franklin (there are kid books about him and tv shows, etc) was going to be on tv with Obama!!!! Ian and I cracked up laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got to make cupcakes for Gavin's class tomorrow because Cailean and I are headed in there to celebrate his birthday. Tonight we are supposed to have basketball practice and Cailean is at a work meeting at the same time (argh). Gavin will hang out at mom's house during practice and wait for the arrival of Uncle Jimi!

Here's the slideshow from playing in the snow yesterday afternoon!

Wow, no school again...2-4 inches of snow really cripples you southerners. So do you have to wait for the snow to melt off the roads before driving or do they have snow plows down there to handle these major snow storms? LOL!!! The boys look as if they had a blast playing in the snow. Did they make a snowman yet? We have plenty of snow up here. In fact I just removed my snow plow from the truck yesterday for the first time in two and a half weeks. Well have fun with it, I'm sure it will be gone in no time at all.
