Snow More!

Good Morning kids...today I woke up to more of that white stuff on the ground. The fog was heavy in spots, but the sun was shining and the sky the most beautiful shade of blue I have ever seen.
However, it was still white out there. Oh, did I mention it was cold too? Oh, well yea, it was that too.
Gracie woke up, looked outside and pouted while saying "Oh no, does this mean I don't have school again?" See she would rather go to school that have a snow day. I know, backwards but I'll take it for as long as she keeps it up.
Luckily for her, school was still in session. Magically, the snow fell on all the trees, yards, cars and houses, but managed to completely avoid the roads. (Gracie thinks pixie dust or perhaps God had a hand in that) But I would say there was close to a half an inch this morning.

However, according to the news we are supposed to get another 6 inches tonight. 6 inches around here is enough to shut down the city. For days. Gracie's 8th birthday is Thursday so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that IF it snows, it melts off in a day. Otherwise I am stuck with 25 cupcakes and surfboard bookmarks that say "HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY CLARE" (Clara is her first name, and the name she goes by at school)

It's now two in the afternoon and it's still pretty white out there. It is melting a little off the roof but there are some serious black clouds looming in the West. Just waiting to strike.
So, tune in tomorrow for the snow report. Hopefully Gracie won't be disappointed by more of the white stuff.

Hi Kristine! I just discovered your blog via a link from Melissa's. Now I can stalk you via blogger as well as facebook, hehe.

Hope Gracie had a great birthday, and the snow didn't affect her plans.

PS--I didn't know that Gracie was her middle name--we call our son by his middle name, too. Has it been much of a problem since she started school?
