January Snow

It's snowing! After Kaylee was already at school, the county decided to cut the day short so kids only had a half day (that they don't have to make up). It was already snowing by about 11:30 this morning (the bus dropped off around 12:20), so by the time Kaylee was home and everyone had eaten and gotten bundled up to go outside there was enough on the ground to play with a little. School has already been canceled for tomorrow, as well.

Jamie had work to do in Rome, GA, so he headed out around 11. At 12 he called to say that they'd called off the work for the day, but he was stuck in traffic (about 2/3 of the way to his destination). He ended up going to Rome to stay with his dad for the night(s??). Currently the plan is for him to do the work tomorrow and head home after, unless they call it off again for weather reasons. He considered packing an overnight bag just in case, but - Murphy's Law - didn't.

I don't think it's snowed (with any real accumulation) since before Andy was born, so this was both his and Ella's first snow! Andy had fun playing for a while, but didn't enjoy being so cold (even with lots of layers). Ella didn't really know what to think of it, but she was happy watching her siblings play; when she started getting antsy she was okay for a bit longer after a snack. I think we lasted about 45 minutes outside before we came in to warm up with some cocoa and let Ella nap.
