SNOW DAY!!

Can you believe it?  It snowed for real in Richmond, and classes were cancelled.  Despite this, I still felt it necessary to wake up at 7 and check, just in case.  Maybe because I dreamt it all melted and I had to go to school anyway.  But lucky for me, it was all a dream because when I looked out my window this is what I saw:

Which of course led me running to Amber's room to jump on her bed and wake her up to tell her it was no doubt a snow day.  Officially, VCU was still open at this point (my teachers all e-mailed and said class was canceled, so I was lucky for that earlier notice) and Amber was angry that I would dare to wake her before it was time.  She needed her rest for class after all.  I was determined to make her get up and look at what was undoubtedly a snow day.  This is the view from her window:

 Standing on my porch

  Our beautiful yard is a winter wonderland. Notice the tracks on the side from the dog... she apparently was as excited for the as the rest of us.  Who would have known?  I don't even think she's seen snow before.

The front of my house.  

That door really stands out when everything is blanketed in snow!

The side of my house. All pretty and white.

Also notice my car covered in snow. Yikes!

Sarah and Amber are happy for a Snow day!

Suma is happy for playing in the snow.  She is just camera shy, that's why she looks like she isn't enjoying it.  Before we pulled the cameras out she was running and rolling in it.  

I don't know if you can tell, but she has snow on her face in this one.  It is partly from me trying to get her to catch snowballs, which she bit at!  She tried, but then she just stuck her face in the snow, sniffing around for something. Probably trying to figure out where her usual smells are.

Since there is no school today and I am all caught up on my homework, my project is this:

Yup, gonna clean my room today.  It's a mess, I know.  Don't look for too long.  

This is what it looks like now:

Much better, No?

I know it still looks cluttered a bit, but notice I don't have a closet so I have to keep all my hanging up clothes on that rack... So it just looks like a closet would.  Except better, at least in my memory.  Closets are a place where you shove things in precariously and shut the door.

Anyhow, that made for a long day.  That and these pictures not wanting to go where I wanted them to!

I get tomorrow off of work to, but not school.  So I have to walk in the cold and wet slush to my one class tomorrow, unless I get an early morning e-mail telling me otherwise.  Here's hoping for that!
