Snow Days

Growing up in Utah, I always dreamed of getting a snow day.  It never happened.  They are so rare in Utah. It can snow a foot and they won't close the schools in Utah, but in Iowa it only takes an inch or two to cancel school. So as a result, not only did we get our first official snow day-- we got 10 of them!  That's right, TEN!  They were lots of fun at first, but then  eventually they became annoying.   I wasn't looking forward to  making them up at the end of the year.  So, instead of wishing for snow days, I wished for two hour delay days.  Those are dreamy.  You get to sleep in, go to school late, and you're not required to make those babies up!  Perfect!  We got a few of those and then we still got ten snow days.  All of that translates into plenty of snow pictures at least!

Nadya built an Igloo!
You don't shovel your driveway in the country.
The boys loved the igloo. Garfield too!
The boys spent one snow day outside with their cousins and the neighbors.  
I had to drag them inside after spending nearly the entire day outside.

  1. I totally get the snow day thing! I grew up in Iowa and we had tons of snow days. I live in Colorado now and it has to be MORE than a foot for them to even think of one. I also have to mention that I love seeing the Iowa State gear in your pictures! Go Cyclones!!!
