Snowpocalypse 2014.

So the last time it snowed (I'm talking Virginia Snow, not Florida Snow) was the day I gave birth to Evan.  It has been relatively tame here in Georgia ever since, much to the chagrin of my children.  Jamie is old enough to remember snow, Evan is old enough to know Jamie has experienced something he hasn't, which is UNACCEPTABLE!!!  Well, that all changed this week.  For Georgia to get this much snow without every weatherman (sans tie with rolled-up sleeves) there to tell us to "stay in doors or fear the wrath of God!"  .... everyone was out Tuesday.

Luckily, Jamie made it home on the bus with little incident.  Even though the trip scared her.  It took her a few hours before she would tell us about the trip.  She said the bus slipped some and Mrs. Donna kept telling everyone to stop talking so she could focus.  Jamie said "Cate and I kept our lips shut!"

There was a lot of slipping and sliding on the street our subdivision is off of.  You can see here how it was just a solid white sheet of ice still on Wednesday morning.  The grey part is our subdivision.  You can't tell from the picture, but it is a hill, so it was sun bathing and happy while the rest of the world stayed frozen.

Nana ended up skidding about 8 miles from our house, on the way home Tuesday and hit a tree.  The road we live off of was completely shut down thanks to multiple mid-road wrecks in every direction, so there was no way we could get to her.  Luckily, while Daryl was calling everyone we could think of to save her, I was able to figure out that she was across from a Senior Living Center and I called them and two wonderful women came out in the snow and walked her into their building.  She stayed there until she decided to get checked out at the hospital because she was pretty sore.  After a police escort by ambulance, she ended up at the hospital our neighbor-friend works at so I texted our neighbor and she made sure that Nana was well taken care of plus was able to hitch a ride back with our neighbor when her shift ended early Wednesday back to our house.

But among the drama, there was FUN!  Nothing is more special or important to a Georgian child than SNOW!!!

The Trampoline Wednesday.

(THIS is why everyone was stuck - the snow hit and it hit hard)  

This was taken Tuesday at 3:45 PM.... When everyone was stuck on the road.

The snow was still powder on Thursday!  So while Daryl & David went to dig Nana's car out of the ditch, the kids wanted to go out while Cason was asleep.... hmmm.... what's a momma to do?  You corral them, that's what you do.

covered in snow - and loving it!

I can watch all three at one time.  I'm cool like that.
