Snow day in APRIL????

Yep! today is the 2nd snow day of the year (just when we thought we'd be done with them with only one under our belts!)

Yesturday the boys had a fun filled morning with a minor BUS ACCIDENT... the Bus got caught in a ditch and the kids had to get out via the emergency door at the end of the bus they were all gitty with excietment and i'm not sure they got any work done at all because it was the morning bus and they seemed just as excited to relay to me the story when they got home in the afternoon... I'm trying hard not to go nuts on the Bus Company, they didn't notify any parents but there were no injuries and although the tale from Hunter was quite horific (he tells the story that the Bus tipped on it's side) thankfully i have my pragmatic son Brad to say, it didn't tip on it's side it only was a little off balance because one side was in the ditch and the other side was still on the road... they had to use the emergency door because the door side was in the ditch and the door wouldn't open completely because of the mud/snow etc...

so this my friends is why there are snowday's and snow delay's... for the transportation issue...

but today i have to say the landscape i see today is why i have a bi=polar relationship with snow.. it is so pretty!!! until we have to dig out... the kids aren't too upset over the snow it is very wet dence snow so it's perfect for sledding and snow ball making...

we are going to let the sun come out (they say it will) and then we'll load everyone up to go to Concord i have to get some food shopping done and since we have ALL the kids we'll make a day of it in Concord.. do the Mall or something ...(guess i'll have to wait to do my Easter shopping now)...

anyway here are some more pic's, i tried to remember what i took yesturday and take some of the same so y'all could see the difference but not too sure how i did...

Brad wanted to outside so badly he was willing to shovel the walk (it's not done!)

Brad's Bike and it might be hard to see but you can see critter prints.. when i was out in the Quiet morning snow i could hear a ton of birds.. they have to be hating life about now!!!
