The past week!

This time last week we were expecting snow and the weatherman was right!!! The joy of working in the school system is that we do get out when it snows. I used to love this and didn't mind 1-2 snow days a year...however, the past two years we have had more snow days than normal. This year we have had 5 and I hope that we are finished accumulating those! I have a little different outlook this year because I am really hoping to finish the school year...but if we keep adding days to our school year, that is going to be much harder! :)

This was only after about the 2nd hour of the 6-7 hours of snow!

Wednesday we were out of school and it started snowing around 9:00. Jacob went to work that morning and it continued to now like crazy! Jacob got to come home about 10:30 from work and informed me as soon as he got home that we had to go eat at Waffle House at some point that day! So....we called our trusty friends, who we love, and who have 4 wheel drive and off we went! After that, we headed across town to Greystone where my friend, Amanda's, parents live and did a little sledding...no worries, I just observed and took pictures! As much as I love snow, it was MISERABLE because the snow was coming down so hard and blowing right in our faces...it was as close as a blizzard as I feel like we can get in central Arkansas! :) After the sledding adventure, we went back to eat snacks, chili, and put on warm clothes!

My first friend I made when we moved here who I love very much, Amanda!!

I had as many layers on as I could fit to zip my coat!!

Friday, I kept one of my best little buddies, Bronson! His daycare was open on Friday, but he told his mom and Dad "no school, I stay with Meme"...and of course I couldn't say no to that! He spent the night with us and we had a great time all day Friday playing, going to visit Jacob at work, going to visit his mom at work, and eating lunch with both of them!

chatting on the phone!

We surprised Jacob at work...Bronson LOVES Jacob!

You would really think that my house would be spotless and all laundry would be done after being out of school for a few days...but it's not! Every time that I would get motivated, I would clean for 30-45 minutes, then get tired, which is a little bit frustrating! It's worth it though and I figure that I better rest now while I can! :)

I will have to do another post later about Valentines Day and how lucky I am to be married to such a wonderful guy!!
