According to the radio, We were hit with 8.9 inches of snow. Luckily, it's the easily removable snow. The kids and I went out last night and played for over and hour. We made a decent snowman, too. Perfect snow for it...the snow was peeling off the grass as we were rolling the snowballs through it. When we woke up this morning, you couldn't even tell we had been playing out there. The kids were so excited about the snow that I let them go out again this morning in their pj's. Yes, they were bundled in boots and snowpants, hats and gloves. Daniel got bored pretty quickly and came back in. Poor Hannah couldn't walk through the snow since it came up to her knees (even higher in some places in our yard). She'd stand up, try to take a step, and fall. It took her 15 minutes to walk 7 feet across the yard. At that point, she decided that she'd just sit in the snow and watch Jacob make a baby for the snowman. I'll have pictures up on Snapfish later today. Let me know if you want to see them.
Right now, we're enjoying our hot chocolates (coffee for me) and are planning to make it an at-home day today (WINC says that you have to have snow tires/chains on to drive in the city today and as we have neither, we're staying put - who wants to deal with all of the idiots on the road anyway?). It's unlikely that Jacob or Daniel has school tomorrow. Jacob's angry because he has art on Monday. It's always something!

I've been thinking of you all weekend. I'm glad the kids got to go out in it. We had a little bit of snow this weekend, but nothing to play with.
Wow! Now I know where all the snow that normally falls her went!
