March 5th Snow!

This morning I got a call that school would be 2 hours late.  An  hour later they closed school altogether, so I had to call in sick to work. Luckily I brought the boys "snow stuff" home from school yesterday.  Watching this plow clear our street made their day!  I'm not sure you can tell the volume of snow from the snowbank they are sitting on, but it is pretty deep! 

Hey Alex...Lets shovel the backyard!  This didn't last long.  They were using shovels and moving snow.

We decided to walk to the park.  I pulled them in the sled most of the way.  It was still snowing pretty good.

Alex has a thing with eating snow!

Evan sat on this tire swing and leaned back and got a face full of snow!

He tried to sled down the hill, but the sled just plowed and he didn't go anywhere.

It's fun to go down a slide that is full of snow.  You go REALLY Fast!

A break on the swings before we head back home.

He wasn't smiling for long.  Get that snow off me Mom!

Alex falls backwards off the tire swing.

We didn't end up getting too much more snow since the morning, so I don't really think they needed to close school.  It was a fun day with the boys.  I did get multiple automated phone calls on my cell and home phone letting me know school was late and then closed.  This is much better than worrying about checking and rechecking the WCCO website.  It is nice that they are using the technology they have to keep everyone in the know before it was too late.  I was able to let Evan sleep in a little(Alex was already up of course).  Tomorrow is back to school and work!
