~~~IT SNOWED LIKE CRAZY HERE TONIGHT~~~

So, we woke up this morning to falling (and quickly melting snow). It was about 38 degrees when we woke up. We didn't have to tell the boys more than once (which never happens) to get up and out of bed; they were out the door in no time making one inch snow balls and an eight inch tall snowman! Unfortunately we all had to hurry and get to school and work. The day remained cold all day long and seemed to get colder, by 3:00 there were huge snow flurries falling to the ground. Right now it is 8:30 and it is still snowing lightly. After school D had an allergist appointment and afterwards RE was cancelled. We went to Carino's to celebrate my birthday day that is tomorrow. It snowed NONSTOP from 3:00 until now and from about 4:00-6:30 it was coming down really hard. After we ate the boys had a snow ball fight and were able to make HUGE snowballs. Driving along Hwy 30 by the mall and the college apartments college kids were making snowmen all over the place. They were normal size too - some up to six feet tall. I have to say I really am enjoying this snow! Listening to Christmas music and watching the flurries dance and float to the ground is pretty darn beautiful and relaxing. Below are some pics I took of our front and back yard.

This is the backyard - our fire pit circle and furniture are covered and on the right side even the palm trees have snow on them!

Tons of snow!!

I guess that our plants will be dead when this dried up!

In this picture you can see it falling!

The boys and I are secretly hoping that it will freeze tonight and school will either be cancelled or at least be delayed! Then we can relax in the beauty of all of this! What a great birthday present that would be for me!

I did talk to my mom and dad a couple of times today , dad wasn't feeling well and was throwing up this afternoon. He sounded better than he felt. Tomorrow is the big day and appointment with the transplant doctor, I am looking forward to hearing what he has to say and I will keep all of you posted!.

God bless all of you!
