Snow Day

Things get really crazy in the south when we get ice or snow. This past Monday it took Brett 3.5 hours to get to work because of the ice on the bridges. They actually shut all the bridges down to Charleston for a time on Monday (shortly after Brett was across) and we thought he was going to be stranded at his work by Mt. Pleasant. This is what some of our trees looked like. (And did you know that those things hanging off the ends are called 'tricycles' and not icicles? :)


School was at first a 3 hour delay and then closed on Monday and a 3 hour delay on Tuesday. With all that time, the kids and I created our own snow day with paper snowflakes. I threaded a few to hang on Ian's fan and turned it on for a snowfall. Here's the final product.And with all that chilliness outside, we spent some time snuggled under blankets and drinking hot chocolate.
