The First Big Snowstorm 2010
We have been dodging the bullet for some time now, but today we finally got hit with an actual snowstorm, 3-6 inches which made driving a little rough today.
James made it home from school fine, and he did well on his schoolwork, however the teacher said he had a “challenging” day which means to us there was a discipline issue so he was banned from playing his video game today. He understood and did not protest, hopefully he will learn his lesson.
James and I went over his schoolwork, he worked on several letters and identified properly the drawings on each. We then took out the staples from the papers and scanned them. James helped by stapling the papers back together. He was a perfect little gentleman and worked the stapler part of the project perfectly. We’ll work on his train track tonight then maybe watch a little television. Hopefully there is school tomorrow, should be, the snow has stopped for now.
A White Christmas In 2007
This year we were hoping for a white Christmas and it looked like we were going to get a really white Christmas. We got hammered with snow on December 17th, my birthday no less. James had to help shovel the snow because there was so much, and afterward we put together a snowman from a kit his Aunt Peg had gotten him a while bit. They kit came with everything except the snow, and mother nature provided plenty of that.
This would be James first snowman, and we had a ball putting him together. He lasted for about a week until a rain washed away most of the snow right before Christmas. The house really looked good with the now and the decorations, especially at night.
Harsh Lake George Winter 2006
So you want a nice quiet place on the lake, eh. Want to kick back with nature and get away from the city, eh.
Here are some pictures Aunt Criss sent us of Lake George in the winter time. Something tells me the salt trucks and plows won’t be riding to the rescue anytime soon.
My sister Criss emailed these pictures of what a winter is like living on a lake. Thankfully they have television and the internet to help them through it. The other months of the year, they are the envy of the family living on a lake, but in winter time the area takes on a different style of beauty, and I don’t think I like ice fishing as much as fishing off a boat on a warm summer day.
