Snow (and Snowmageddon)

We don't do a lot of snow in the Deep South. This week has been quite an adventure! Thankful I learned to drive on ice when we lived in Ohio. The kids and I were at BSF when the surprise snow began falling. We left early and headed for home. Took us a little over three hours to make it to Target, just about two miles away. We stopped there for lunch and to shop a bit. I bought the kids new swimsuits because...why not? Then we headed for home again. Only took another hour and a half, which was not as bad as I was expecting. I got stuck in one spot and was very grateful for the college kids out with kitty litter, shovels, and muscles! The Gent drove part way home from work and walked the rest. In between all that my phone was going crazy! Friends and acquaintances and strangers were stranded all over the city. We ended up with four sweet snow refugees staying with us. We drank lots of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate and they kept my kids entertained for the almost 48 hours we were snowed in. :) Annie and JJ were very excited when we finally made it home and they could play in the snow, though they didn't last long, it was too cold!
