After a weekend where everyone worked from home because of the possibility of snow, we actually did get snow and have a snow day today. I say that everyone worked from home but I did not, I went in because I run the switchboard and the closest building is a 15 minute drive. I have been able to make it in most of the time. The snow that arrived today wasn’t a whole heck of a lot but it was enough predicted that school was cancelled early last night. That meant that pretty much everything for today was cancelled. Karate, School, Play rehearsal. All of it cancelled. So, I took the snowblower and cleaned up our place and our neighbor’s place. The kids couldn’t wait to get out and play in the snow. They made snow people in the chairs on our patio. Then they made the snow people get married. Big imaginations on these kiddos.
Oh those snowfalls close to Spring. Today was a snow day once again. The snow just kept on falling and falling. I went out and snowblowed the driveways and sidewalks 3 times. We lost power and I hauled out the neighbor’s generator on my third snowblowing attempt. It took me long enough to haul it out, set it up, run cords to my garage and start up the snowblower for the power to be restored. On my third time out I also ran the snowblower across the street to help out my other neighbor, Tim. He was digging out the whole apartment. That’s the kind of guy he is. So, I lent a hand for a while. But, by the third time out I was compeltely spent, soaked and tired beyond anything.
In between the snowblowing sessions we watched Guardians of the Galaxy, which Eva loved! She was giggling like crazy through much of it. Next chance we get then we are doing Volume 2. I also worked with the kids to build The Milano LEGO set from the first movie. It is in my stack of Marvel LEGO sets that I have yet to open. We actually build two sets today, a Spider-Man set and this Guardians set. It was fun to build these with the kids. It was a nice snow day.
