What a surprise! Wednesdays are one of our busiest days here - both boys have school and it's my helper day in Gordon's Kindergarten, so it was kind of a pleasant surprise to find out that all Boise schools were canceled today, due to a good seven inches of snow overnight. This is a real rarity around here. We don't often see this much snow in the valley. The mountains nearby, yes - but not very often in Boise.
The boys were bundled up and out the door into the snow before we even had complete daylight!
Barely dawn and our fun-filled snow day got off to a snowy, playful start!
Gary was the only one who wasn't blessed with a snow day today. While he was in the shower getting ready for work, Gordy gave him a helping hand by starting the snow shoveling on the driveway.
Grayson marveled at the accumulated inches of white stuff on our porch railing.
What a lovely sight -- so much snow on our roof and trees!
The boys made these snowmen earlier this week - Gordon's is on the left and Grayson's is on the right. They each have their very own unique artistic style.
While I made celebratory eggnog French toast for breakfast, Gordon warmed up and worked on one of his recent favorite activities - a word search.
After breakfast, the boys quickly got back outside to enjoy our new-fallen snow!
...And the snow has continued through much of today.
What a treat!
As I post, the boys are out building a big snowman.
What a fantastic snow day!
