Snow Day!

So Thursday evening I was sitting in a training for work when it began snowing.  This snow storm had been in the news and they predicted it would be a big one.  The preschool I work at follows whatever Denver Public Schools does in regards to closing for snow.  DPS is known for never closing due to snow though.  So needless to say I was not expecting it when around 8 or 8:30pm DPS (along with pretty much every school district around the Denver metro area) announced they would be closed on Friday due to severe weather conditions!  I was excited to say the least, it took me back to high school and being excited when we got a snow day.  And the best part about it was they announced the night before, so no waking up early just to find out it's closed.  Now don't me wrong, I absolutely love my kids at work but driving in awful road conditions is no fun and being snuggled up inside on days like that is far better,

Well just as the predicted it turned out to be quite a snow!  It snowed from Thursday evening all the way through Saturday morning!  I didn't even really look outside much Friday cause I knew my best bet was staying in all day.  But this is what I woke up to this morning (looking out the back door)...

Finally it stopped snowing late morning, and I knew I had some errands I needed to get done.  So the realization that I needed to go out and tackle shoveling the drive way hit me.  Lets just say, at one point I felt like dying.  There was sooo much snow, and it was soo heavy!  And I swear, the driveway is too long.  I did it though, and I got my errands done without getting stuck once!

All the shoveling and running errands made me pretty hungry.  Well that and the three cups of coffee and no food factor from this morning began to kick in :)  So I decided to make a home made, 3-cheese margherita pizza.  And I have to admit, it turned out delicious!  I plan to spend the rest of the day relaxing and watching some movies.
