Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Yesterday we finally had a pretty good snow fall here. It is not often that we get a decent snow fall here in Northern Virginia (well, not compared to Illinois anyways!)

It was a beautiful snow fall that started mid morning and lasted into the evening. All in all we ended up with around 5 inches. I managed to snap a few photos while I was on my lunch break.

As you can imagine, the roads got a lil sloppy and, eventually, everyone was leaving work early so I left around 3:30 p.m. It was a nice break. I went to pick up the boys but Benjamin was still napping. He and Jack did have the opportunity to play out in the snow as it fell. And they built a snowman too.

Well, we'll see what the weekend brings. No big plans this weekend which is nice for a change. The snow is already starting to melt. But it may snow again tomorrow and Sunday it is supposed to be in the teens. Yikees!
As for Don, he e-mailed on Wednesday reporting that he was suffering from a wicked head cold. He was going to leave work early that day and get some rest. He hasn't said if he's feeling better but I imagine that, since he hasn't been whining about it, he must be on the mend.
I think the boys are coming down with a head cold as well! ugh. Benjamin has been coughing and sneezing and his nose has been running non stop. Samuel woke up with a messy nose this morning too. Hopefully, this cold won't linger too long.
