Lastnight the weather channel was predicting up to three inches of snow here for today. I went to the trouble of lugging out the kid's snow boots, quilted overalls, jackets, etc., so that I wouldn't have to hunt them down today. And guess what, during the night the snow swept south of us! Argh!! So all we have today is wind gusts up to 20 mph and two disappointed kids with a bad case of cabin fever. We haven't had a decent snow here since the year Skylar as conceived, winter of 2003 (ever notice how autumn baby-booms corelate to snowfall of the previous winter?? Lol!).

So for those of you who live in parts that actually got significant snowfall and are grumbling about digging out your sidewalks and vehicles, think about that bored stay-at-home mom in Virginia with two kids who are bouncing off the walls and are dying to build their first snowman.
