PD, Snow Day, and Good o'l CAA!

Yesterday Taylor and Levi had the day off for a PD day.  Taylor spent a large part of her day baking treats in anticipation of the snow storm that was to come our way...

Today is the first snow day for our kids and they are making the most of it.  Well, actually, Taylor and Levi are working on the displays for their science fair projects.  It is very handy to have an experienced editor living in the house.  Amber did very well with her science fair project a couple years ago, (going to BASEF and the Redeemer science fairs),  so she is busy helping them out. 

David is trying to stay out of their way, sort of.  He really wants to go out and play in the snow, but has been on antibiotics since Monday for an ear infection...not fun.  His cold that just wouldn't go away kind of took a turn for the worse, and when he was complaining about his ear on Saturday night and Sunday, I thought it was time for some medical intervention.  So, he can't wait till mommy gives him the ok to get outside and play in all this new white stuff. 

We have received 7 inches of snow and counting.  It's still snowing.  It was very blizzard-like throughout the night, with the wind picking up just before we turned out the lights last night. 

Rick is missing out on the real snow day experience because he at a meeting all day...he's feeling a little ripped off.

On top of all that, the van was towed away on Monday night.  It is at the shop and I am still waiting to hear about the final diagnosis...engine trouble...some decisions will need to be made concerning that aging vehicle...

 The view out my bedroom window this morning.

 This face says it all...

 I love a bit of the country in the city...

It's 3pm and the road it cleared.

Clearing away what the tractor plowed into the driveway...

...poor Venture...
