It all started about 9:00 Sunday night. It had been snowing south of Atlanta for a good part of the day. But the night is when it hit us up here north of the city. It snowed at 3 inches an hour, but alas we only got a total of 5 inches of snow by the time it was all through. Then it freezing drizzled for a while. School has now been out for 3 days and it is out again tomorrow. If we don't go on Friday the kids will have been to school for 4 days in the month of January by Jan. 18th. Crazy days in Atlanta.Snow can be fun even when you don't have the proper equipment. We tried to build a snowman, but without the proper gloves and the fact that the top layer was ice, it proved difficult, so Grace gave up quickly. Then we went sledding. Grace and Mommy and Daddy loved it. Lily was just ready to go in. Thank goodness Aunt Jenni had left a outgrown pair of snowpants for Grace and Mommy had run to Walmart Sunday and bought a pair of snow boots for Grace and rain boots for Lily.
These pictures are from the first day.
The street with some sledders.
Our house with a beautiful blanket of snow.
Sledding at the neighbors, with another neighbors sled.

Uhoh
And the snowballs fly
Lily with her plastic bag coverings over her warmest clothes, crying cause she is DONE!
Well there may or may not be more to the story, but I am still sane after three days stuck in the house with two kids and the husband ran off, I mean made it in to work today. It looks like we may be in the house until the weekend, pray for us all to stay the same.
