Love it, Rae!! Yesterday we had blinding sun and today we have snow! I love it...I should move to Alaska, but it is just a bit too remote for me!
 
I really don't mind the cold and snow. It's all the dark time in Alaska I couldn't handle. Snowing again here. It's warm, though--35 degrees.
 
Yesterday we had the white out for about 2 hours in the evening... right at rush hour! And then schools were cancelled for today by about 8p last night. The roads didn't look too bad, but then I saw that we had at least one salt truck slide off the road after hitting a patch of ice. Then I was glad that I decided to stay home from work today... of course, now the kids are driving me nuts... being good, just a bit nutty!
 
Oh, those nutty kids. I'd suggest you threaten them with a visit from The Furry Guy, but I don't think that would scare them much.
 
No, that might excite them too much and then I'd never get them down from the ceiling!
 
He sometimes has that effect on me, too. :)
 
Must be the paper gowns that get it all started!
 
Rolling papers?
