Getting snow in December was definitely a surprise. Getting another round of snow only two weeks later had us questioning the crazy NC weather.

The snow actually profited Jordan financially when a neighbor hired him to shovel his driveway.
Here's Courtney out again the next day. (Yes, she's licking a giant piece of ice.) It snowed most of the day Monday then turned to rain that evening. Unfortunately, because it was still so cold, everything was a solid sheet of ice by the next day. The yards looked like frozen ponds. Jordan tossed a rock at one end of the backyard, and it slid all the way across to the other side. It was very weird.
The kids ended up being out of school three days with a delayed start the fourth day. Hopefully they enjoyed it because they lost a January holiday and their only two days off in February!
Jordan does his part to contribute to the neighborhood.
Courtney had an animal project for school and really wanted to do a giraffe. Not the easiest thing to make from scratch, but a little cardboard, masking tape, and papier-mache actually worked out a lot better than I thought it would.
Here she is with her finished project, ready to head off to school.
An afternoon project - matching crowns for her and her bunny
An art project at school
Courtney's picture was chosen by her art teacher to be part of a display at a local credit union. We thought she'd be more excited about it, but she was the first one ready to leave, and she barely tolerated this picture!
