Meet Little Bob

One of the greatest things about winter in Tennessee, is that when it snows, even a little, it's a BIG DEAL.  School gets canceled and everyone heads out to play.  We had our biggest "snowstorm" in seven years this weekend.  School was canceled Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, and we'll see about tomorrow.  There are very few snowplows in the city, and since the weather right now is a pattern of warming, melting, then freezing, it's too slick for the buses at 6 in the morning.  Church was even canceled on Sunday!  At first the snow was too icy for packing.  And by the next morning there was a thick layer of ice on top, such that Ashley could walk on top without breaking through.  Colby would break through about every other step, totally throwing off his balance.  Here's a glimpse of how we spent the weekend:

Meet "Little Bob" and his creators:

An evening "sled ride" around the yard.  Mush, Bryan, mush!

Some people wish it would snow more often around here.  Not me!  Then it wouldn't be so exciting and fun!
