Slush Day

Power outages and slushy roads shut down the schools on Wednesday, much to the children's delight. You can't tell from the photos but it was raining the entire time the kids were outside. I couldn't keep them in when I knew they were dying to go out and also knew it would be a matter of hours before it all melted. Plus, they were driving me nuts! They were drenched shortly after they went out, but they had a great time. Their clothes and everything went straight in the washer when they came in an hour and a half later. They warmed up with dry clothes, slippers, hot cocoa, and muffins.

Grant was not happy about staying inside with Mama. He had his shoes all ready and kept trying to convince me he should be out there, too. It didn't work.
