Snow Day!

Oh my goodness! It has been snowing in Arlington ALL DAY! It is so pretty, but is now causing some issues. I couldn't get 5 feet from my drive way today in order to pick up Macie, Mica and Logan. My neighbor had to drive me up there in her pretty new Lexus. I felt so bad with 4 wet kids in there! The truck would just not drive on the slushy snow. Now, tree limbs are falling left and right. I'm not just talking small little limbs! Big huge, half of trees. It's really scary. Almost 1/2 of our tree in the front is covering half our street. And, another huge tree from our house just hit our neighbors house. Our neighbors on both sides have HUGE parts of trees down too. I am sad and scared. I love our trees, so I want them around. But, scared that one is going to come crashing through our roof! Or, smash John's car. (maybe not such a big loss there!) Literally, as a I sit here, I am hearing limbs crash and hit our house with a big boom. Anyway, just writing, cuz it helps me to vent I guess. Here are some pictures of the fun and the ugly. Poor Maris hates the snow, or maybe she just hates that jacket. Ha! We took a big bubble bath after they played in the snow a little.

We've had lots of downed branches here too. But on the up-side, we made tiny snowmen. There was enough snow to make huge ones, but I just gathere snow off the porch so I didn't have to go traipsing in the yard. It's DEEP out there.

Unbelievable! I know the feeling of being scared about trees crashing onto your house...living through a couple hurricanes you feel the same way. It's freaky to hear the trees hit the ground.
Must say, it sure looks beautiful in your pictures!! But the clean up is going to be rough for everyone there. What an EVENT!!!

I'm sorry, but that Maris picture is ADORABLE! Macie looks like she's having fun! :)
