But WAIT.....There's MORE!!!!

Yes, MORE SNOW is what we woke up to this morning! Actually it was just lightly snowing when I took the kids to seminary, and although it was sticking to the neighborhood streets, it wasn't a problem on the main roads. I went to workout and then came back to pick up Caleb and bring him home. Shelby got on the bus and headed to school and Caleb and I came home (his school has a later start time, so he gets to come home for an hour and get ready for school). After my shower, this is what it looked like outside! While Chris and I were debating whether or not he should drive Caleb to school, our local school system called a 2 hr. delay for all the elementary and middle schools. Because Caleb goes to a Governor's School, it is not bound by the local school system. There are 13 school districts that feed into his school. We realized that if Chris drove him to school, there may not be a bus to bring him home since our local district would probably turn around on the freeway if road conditions got too bad. So we decided to keep him home. Obviously a good decision because about 20 minutes later our school district abandoned the 2 hr. delay and closed all un-opened schools for the day. A few minutes later, Caleb's school closed too. So I now have four giddy, excited kids home with me for the day and one very disgruntled teenager who feels life is extremely unfair because I will not drive to school and pick her up NOW. Needless to say, school really is the safest place for her to be right now! Being on the roads would be a mess!

In other exciting news, Caleb is now the proud parent of EIGHT baby fish! He used some of his Christmas money to set up an old fish tank and furnish it with a few fish. He can only add two at a time, so on the evening after he added his second set of fish, he noticed babies swimming around. He gathered them into our "nursery tank" and is feeding them crushed fish food. He is proving to be a very good "daddy"!
