SNOWMAN

I got home from Boston at 10:00 pm last night. The snow and ice was due to arrive at 2 am this morning. But on the drive from the airport to pick up Bug, I drove into the ice - that was on the big hill I had drive up to get to Auntie Lulu's house. The at the top of hill it was all snow. We got home at 11:42 pm and went straight to bed. i am so thankful that I did not stay an extra night in Boston- I doubt I would have made it home today.

When we woke up this morning, there was 3-5 inches of snow on the ground. I already knew that Bug was going to be staying home today, but the snow this morning and the traffic reports confirmed it. I had calls for work this morning and Bug watched CARS and Clifford. After finishing the calls, Bug and I headed outside to shovel the driveway. After finishing the driveway, I took Bug for sled ride around the neighborhood. After that, we built Bug's first snowman in the backyard. I think we had a good time. Bug and I took a 3 hour nap (yeah, I know the entire long nap thing).

Here are pictures of our day:

Bug in the sled going around he neighborhood. He loved it. He is also almost too big for his sled- good thing there is a snow ski at Lulu's house that is supposed to come to our house.

Bug decided to put his face right into the snow and get a snow beard. Silly boy

Bug shoveling the sidewalk up by the house. He is just too cute.

From the weather reports, Bug is going to be home tomorrow too (Yea- Momma's birthday present). They are saying we will get 1/2 inch of ice over night (power outages expected) and then we are supposed to get 4-6 more inches by 12 noon tomorrow. Altogether, we will get 13.5 inches of snow and ice between today and tomorrow.

I am off to make Bug some broccoli cheese rice for dinner.

Love to you,
