3rd Snow Day!!

Okay--now I am getting irritated!! This is crazy!! Three snow days in a row!! The kids, of course, were excited to stay home AGAIN!! But there is a lot I want to try to do before Christmas and I am just not finding the time or energy!! I have gotten an automated phone call at 5:58am for the past 3 days telling me that school was cancelled!!

Here is a picture from our first snow day:
Now compare that with the third snow day:

We just don't have anywhere else to pile up the snow!!


I decided since it is so close to Christmas and I just haven't found the time yet...I am doing the Sams Club picture Christmas photo cards! Anyone who knows me knows this is killing me because I MAKE my own Christmas cards every year and have for who knows how long now!! But...they would never get done at this point this year.

So...I had my kids help me stuff them and stamp them! We plopped on Maddie's bed and away we went. I got them all to the post office the same day! They are definitely not me--but, oh well--you do what you have to do!! I love Christmas cards and just couldn't bring myself to not send anything at all!

Living in Mountain-Resort-Vacation-Land has its downside, I see. HA. Great pictures, even the one with only two girls.

There were a couple years that I didn't even send out cards, so doing the Costco card thing is okay in my eyes. Looks like your girls had fun helping with them, too. I can't believe all the snow you have! Makes Las Vegas look pretty good, huh!

wow- that's more snow than we have!!

I can't believe 3 days- no school!!
That would totally throw off my getting ready for Christmas plans- hope you recover-

I had big plans for Christmas cards this year... but did costco & I will never do that again. I will always be more prepared from now on ;)

Can't wait to see your Christmas picture. Your card is always the most elaborate and so you deserve a year off. I have had a great time catching up reading your blog. Wow, do you guys have lots of snow. We had tons on Friday, but you know here in Utah they rarely cancel school. I went in to help for a party and came out my car was covered. It made for a fun afternoon for my boys.

it snowed here two days and i thought that i was going to die. i hate the snow. it is fun to watch but when it sticks or even does it for a long period of time i dont like it. i cannot believe all the snow you have there. got your xmas card and it is super cute. i couldnt even think about that kind of stuff this year. our whole house is almost done and packed up. i am just anxious now to get this all done with. have a great xmas!!!
