Snow Day!!!!

All week we kept hearing about the "big storm" that was going to hit Omaha on Friday. I thought it was really funny because the weather has been so nice all week. I've only worn a light jacket to school every day this week. It was starting to feel like spring might be coming. Anyway, Friday came and we awakened at 5:30 AM by the phone ringing, it was Porter's school and they were announcing that his school had been canceled for the day. I looked out the window and it still looked nice outside, no snow, just cloudy skies. I drove to school just in case it did snow. At about 8:30 or so it did begin to snow. By about 11:30 it was snowing pretty hard. I had a very important surgery to perform at 1:00 and the teacher I was working with found me and asked if I might be able to call the patient and ask him to come in earlier before things got worse. I did and the patient said that would be no problem. No sooner did I hang up the phone after talking with him the Dean of the clinic announced that we all needed to call our patients and tell them the clinic was told by the school to close for the afternoon. My patient just laughed at the whole ordeal, which I was glad he understood. So, I went home and enjoyed a wonderful snow day with my family. Erin and Peyton slept most of the afternoon, while Porter and I played his new game. Once everyone was awake and about 7 inches of snow had accumulated we all bundled up to go outside and play. We grabbed our sled and found the hill just outside our apartment and made a sledding run. Porter loved it, Peyton not so much. He liked being pulled in the sled, but not sledding down the hill. Erin and I had to laugh at Porter because last year I was all excited to go sledding and he fought me the whole time. This year he loved it. It was a great day. One of our favorite things to do on a snowy day is watch all the crazy drivers try and drive up our hill in the snow. It just makes me glad that I didn't have a reason to drive in the snow next to people who really have no clue what their doing in the white stuff.
