The weather report for Sunday, January 9th was icy rain around noon. The snow started about 1 or so and started accumulating quickly. I got a lot done that afternoon: took down the indoor Christmas decorations and put them up, cleaned house, and started scrapbooking dance pictures.
We got a phone call from one of Olivia's friend's dads. He asked if Isabelle could stay with us that evening while he went out to pick his wife up from Children's Hospital. I said sure, we would just be eating chili and bathing kids for school the next day so she could join us. I ended up calling her dad, Daniel, back asking if she could just spend the night. Schools had been called already for Monday and since I was going to be out, I could keep her if he needed to go to work. He said he'd talk to her and probably she would decide to stay over. She came over around 5:30 or so and did stay over night. The girls all played together wonderfully! Isabelle was so easy-going that it helped the dynamics of our girls a lot! ha!
The next morning, Brian made the girls breakfast and we went outside trying to make a snowman...but the snow was too powdery. So, we decided to go on a walk with the dogs around the neighborhood. The creek was so beautiful! As the snow started melting and getting slushy, they went out back and built a snowman. Isabelle's dad came to get her that evening. It had been a great day!
The next day (Brian's birthday), school was called again. But the roads were pretty much dry, so we had a fun day out together.
