Weather Woes

It just wouldn't stop. The snow kept falling and falling. I guess they said we had almost 30 cm. But man those drifts were up to my thighs in some spots. Bella and I headed to the school yesterday to work and what would have been a ten minute walk took us twenty-five minutes. It was really hard to judge how deep the snow was in some places. We hit a snow drift and I fell through it. Bella, in slow motion, face planted it. I pulled her up and we walked about five feet and she did it again. With the wind whipping around us, we stopped and had a little cry. I'm so glad that it is over. Hopefully some walkways are shoveled today.

On a lighter note, it was Riley's talent show at school. He did GREAT!!! The two boys in his group chickened out. He wasn't going to do it and at first I said to him if he didn't want to go up he didn't have to. A little bit later I looked at him and told him to do it. And that if he felt nervous to just look at me and I'll help him through it. Well he took a deep breath and got up there and sang his song. I was so proud of him. It took a lot of courage to get up there and sing in front of a big crowd. If you are wondering what song he did, he sang Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics. The one thing about Riley is he likes the classics.



I don't know why he wanted to wear a blazer, but oh well. Here you have a future David Letterman or a politician.
