I'm a southern girl. I think I've mentioned that before. Nothing against yankees (I married one...), but I have purposefully chosen to live in the south. I love the 4 seasons - hot summer, gorgeous fall and spring, and mild winter.
For us, snow is always an exciting event. It usually happens once a winter. We stock up on bread and milk, lose power, get out of school for a week, slide off the road, and make tons of fun memories. But it happens once a winter.
So, what is going on?!?! You may remember our huge snowstorm that we received in December. We got 30 inches. Yes, I said 30 inches. It was crazy. But, again, that made for some fun memories, and Eveley got to experience her first real sledding run.
That was nice.
But, we had another snow storm last weekend and got 11 inches at our house.
Then, another storm came on Tuesday. We only got 4 inches.
Now, the mother of all storms has moved into my beloved southern territory. At first, they said we would have 3 to 4 feet of snow. WHAT???
It is a small band of crazy snow that is heading right over our neck of the woods bound for D.C. I'm not sure if this is some sort of Snowpocalypse (as some people are calling it), but I think Mr. President needs to come out once and for all and denounce this global warming thing before I have to move to Barbados.
I don't think I would be this put out if it hadn't been for sick kids and a long week. But we went a whole 8 days without getting out of the house, and I'm sorry to say, I was a mad white woman. Everybody was getting on my nerves. We finally made a mad dash out of the house yesterday to stock up on the essentials:
As of 7:30 a.m., our house looked like this.
I'll keep you posted.

I feel ya, Lauren. Lots of sickness and snow here, too. School was cancelled today before it even started snowing. Madelyn was so sad that she couldn't go. (Shhhh...so was I!) Hope you are well and that everyone's power stays on!
Love,
Carey
Does playing super mario bring back some memories? Takes me back every time I hear the theme song. On the Wii you can download the original version and play it with the wii controller turned sideways. Love it! Cracks me up and I can still totally beat it! It's crazy how all of it just comes back to you; guess it's like riding a bike. HA!
