Snow Day!!!

Today Ben had his fourth snow day of the school year.  It is always fun to hear Ben's phone ring and it is the Dover-Eyota Superintendent, Bruce Klaehn, calling to say school is cancelled. Because the district only built in three extra days into the school calendar, they added a day on during the 'spring break' weekend. Lucky for Ben, he was already going to be at the robotics competition, and it counts for a make up day.

We don't have a sled (lame parents) so we were going to pull Russell along in the laundry basket (Ben's idea). It worked great in the very shallow snow, but once we got into deeper snow it didn't work so well. So, I hauled it on my back like a back pack for most of our walk.

 

When I plunked Russell down in the snow right off the sidewalk he sunk right in and it kept him upright. He didn't like being left alone in the snow, though, and bent over to rub his face in the snow just after I took the picture.

 Russell mostly hung out in the carrier. We have rarely used it, but he enjoyed it quite a bit.

 

Russell made a little snow friend.
