so we decided to play outside instead. I didn't want to risk our lives just so we could go stand in line at the mall. I'm planning to put Santa photos on our Christmas cards this year, so if it gets to be late in the month and you haven't gotten a card from me yet, this is the reason! Hopefully we can go see Santa this weekend and get the cards printed quickly.
I was negligent in my Mommy the Official Photographer responsibilities because I totally forgot to take any photos of the boys playing in the snow. Just know that they had a blast and were cute as can be all bundled up.
I kept waiting for them to cancel school because it fell heavily all morning, but apparently the roads weren't as bad as I suspected. After drying Conrad's coat and gloves, we all piled in the car so I could drive him down to the bus stop. Just last week I had mentioned that driveway markers were unnecessary, and all I had to do was drive straight from the garage to the road. My plan didn't work out so well because I ended up driving through our nice new grass with one side of the car, tearing it up in the process. Ooops...I guess the markers are a good idea after all.
Conrad walked in the front door a little late that afternoon. When I went to see how his day went, I immediately noticed the pile of snow all over his backpack and the back of his pants. After giving him the "look" (you know, the one where you raise your eyebrows in a questioning sort of way) he said "oh yeah, I decided to make a snow angel and forgot I still had my backpack on." Ahhhh, well good thing it is waterproof!
The next morning Jason got up early and went next door to borrow Mr. Jason's Steiner. Jason, if you are reading this, we are soooooo thankful to have your stash next door! He got our driveway plowed pretty quickly, and also a path for mom to get into her driveway. He saved some of the snow past the garage though, because he knew Jason would be disappointed if he didn't get to "play". He's pretty thoughtful, don't you think?
