Last day of school adventures

R’s last day of school before the holidays turned out to be a doozie. We knew there was a big snow storm coming, but at 8am, there was not a flake in sight. It started around 9am, when I dropped R off at school. The snow was falling heavily already. I was glad I had on my YELLOW PARKA. You just know it’s bad weather when I break out the YELLOW PARKA, it’s ready for any sort of snowstorm. Anyways. By the time I went to pick her up, the snow was already about 12 inches deep. We slogged through, a friend of R’s from school was having all his classmates and parents over for lunch. We had a great time. (oh, and so did the kids!). By the time we left around 2:30pm there was well over 18 inches. Agh! Digging out was a challenge, and it was a challenge even with snow tires to make it home. The side streets were just deep, deep snow. Today was also the first day that R watched part of the Sound of Music…Now on to the holiday!
