Funny Story...I am sure you all have heard or were involved in the Atlanta SNOWPOCALYPSE of 2014. A day that will go down in history as the day Atlanta freaked out over 2 inches of snow. Well, there I was teaching - no clue what the weather was doing outside until my first grade class showed up at 12:35. We were getting ready to work on these portraits of us "catching a snowflake on our tongue" when it started snowing huge FAT snowflakes! We turned out the lights and just watched it in awe for a minute or two - because we go years without snow down here! - then I called each table and let them run out into the courtyard to catch a snowflake on their tongue! We got so tickled! After that we got back to work - totally excited! And as soon as class was over - school got cancelled and we were all dismissed - umm with the rest of Atlanta. It was a MESS. But, just to be clear - it wasn't just snow - it was ICE! It took me an hour to travel 8 miles home and that was nothing compared to a co-worker who was in the car with a five year old for 22 hours! Can you imagine?

- We survived both storms! Atlanta officials and our school system did a GREAT job on the second storm! Here are a few photos of how my girls and pugs spent their Snow Days...
