James and I woke up several times in the night last night and were excited to see it snowing outside! Our school district decided to wait until about 5:30 this morning to make the call that we weren't going to have school but we were happy with the choice even if it did come late! We decided to sleep in until about 10:00 and then James got up and made us banana pancakes to eat while we watched our 44th president, Barak Obama get inagurated into office. After that we went outside and did everything that you could imagine to do when it snows...we built a snowman, had a snowball fight, and made snow angels! After that we came inside and warmed up with some home made hot chocolate that one of my students gave me this year for Christmas (thanks Georgia)! Last but definitely not least we are going to attempt to make some snow cream! After that I think that we are just going to finish up by doing a little relaxing around the house, turn on our fire in the fireplace, and just enjoy our day off together!
We are making "How To" books with our students right now so we thought we would take some pictures of each step to show them! "First you roll the 3 balls..."
"Next you give it a face and arms."
"Last you give it buttons, a hat, and a scarf!"
Making snow angels...
Here is our bowl of snow ready to make snow cream! We made sure to take Melissa's advice and stay away from the yellow snow!
AJ also enjoyed getting to play in the snow! When we first opened the door to let him out this morning he came right back inside and wasn't to sure about the snow but once he went out he loved it and ran around like crazy!
AJ was up to his usual tricks and found some sticks to dig up in the snow!
Last but not least this is just a picture of our University of Tennessee well in our back yard that we got as a wedding gift...thought it looked pretty neat in the snow!

So funny to see warm and sunny Honduras in one post and snow in the next! Glad you enjoyed your day!
Haha yeah I thought the contrast in weather was a bit strange myself!
I LOVE the illustrations for your how-to books! We'll have to borrow your pictures! Your snowman is awesome! I wonder how many of our kids built snowmen today--I'm sure we'll hear about it tomorrow! :-)
I love the kid-like-spirt of you two...glad you had fun together in the snow :)
And good job staying away from the yellow snow! :-)
I drove past your house today on the way to work and saw your sagging snowman. :)
I like your snowma. We have had so much snow this year and it all comes on the weekend, so we don't get the snow day. Looks like you enjoyed your day though. I love the honeymoon pictures! I would love to go somewhere warm now!
Wow!!! Great snowman. Didn't know that you actually got the snow. What fun for you.
We are great - in Ft. Myers - cold - but no snow.
Wish you would do my blog - you do such a great job.
Love
Mom
