Snow Day

John and Josh's snow fort
We awoke yesterday morning to snow. There was already a few inches on the ground, and it was still coming down hard. From about 5:00am on, we were inundated with texts and phone calls to inform us that there was no school, no seminary, no institute class.

Hannah was disappointed about the snow day but I think it had something to do with it being finals week. No one else seemed to mind. Steven bravely set out to go to work, and by all reports managed to get there and back just fine.

Steven's path to the sidewalk. 
With nowhere to go, the rest of us spent a quiet day at home. Hannah baked cookies. John and Josh built a snow cave reminiscent of the one they built last year. Peter stayed in his pajamas and played with LEGOs. Some time in the afternoon the snow stopped falling. The snow on our front lawn is now about 6 inches deep. When Steven got home, he spent almost an hour shoveling a path out to the sidewalk, shoveling the sidewalk, and digging out my car.
The sidewalk leading to the school
This morning, school was back in session. Hannah and John had seminary, and then finals. As I trudged to school with Peter this morning, I was grateful to those who had shoveled the sidewalks in front of their homes already. The sidewalk leading up the hill to the school had not been shoveled, and looked like the snow plows had pushed the snow from the street up onto the sidewalk, It was a huge churned up mass that was rather difficult to walk through. We made it to school, and then I made it safely home again. I do hope that sidewalk gets plowed before school is out though.
