Snow Days

We had snow in Alabama twice within 4 days! That's very rare for us. I get as excited as the kids at school. Even though I love my job, I really love getting out of school for a snow day! :)

Snow Day 1: All teachers from my school attended a conference on Thursday and Friday, so our kids already didn't have to come to school. I stayed up super late Thursday night when they were predicting snow because I just knew we wouldn't have to go in. I was surprised on Friday morning to wake up to no snow! Casey drove me to the conference and dropped me off and then took a friend to the airport. Our principal greeted us morning at the conference and told us that we could leave if it started snowing since no one in Alabama knows how to drive in snow and everyone panics. All of us teachers were watching out the windows the whole morning for a single snowflake. Finally the snow came later that morning, and we all got to go home! We came home and took our dogs out on our deck to play. Mylie (our white lab...the adventurous one) loved the snow. She was so fun to watch. She ran back and forth and slid. She would stop and just stare up at the sky watching the snow fall. Turk (our chocolate lab...the nervous one) wanted nothing to do with it. He laid by the door until we came back inside. We were able to get a few pictures of them both in the snow.

Snow Day (Night) 2: We were out of school on Monday for Presidents Day. Monday night it started snowing again! It was really sticking on the ground so I got all excited again thinking we would at least have a delay for school on Tuesday and I would get to sleep in and play in the snow... No such luck...we had to be at school at the normal time. It was still a fun night though. Casey & I went out to watch the snow. Like I said, we rarely get to see snow this far south. Here are a few pics of our snow night.

Casey made a heart in the snow on my car...how romantic :)

I really enjoyed all the snow and hope it goes back again soon!
