Am I Back in Michigan???

The weather reports have been warning that a BIG SNOW STORM is heading our way.  For some reason, I took it seriously this time, so today while the kids were still at school I made my trip to Target to get a little milk (just in case) and plenty of diapers.  What would be worse than running out of diapers!!!  Of course, that would be good incentive to potty train 'Retta once and for all.  (this whole potty training thing should really fall into the "Stacker Mom Moment" highlights.  We've regressed and I don't know if it's my fault or just toddler phase...)

But I digress...the snow storm.  Well, the forecasters were right.  School let out at 1:30 pm today.  I picked up the girls, picked up Dixie from her grooming appointment, and went home.  Within 10 minutes of arriving home, the snow started falling...and falling....and falling.  It's been snowing for about 6.5 hours now, and I can't believe the amount of snow that has fallen.  Seriously, am I back in Michigan?? 

This was taken about 5:30 pm (3.5 hrs of snow)

This was taken approximately 7:30 pm.

My back porch.  Approx. 8:00 pm.  Ruler measures 9" (and still snowing)

My dog decided to pee on the porch rather than going down into the yard!!!  She grew up in Michigan for crying out loud...

And, on another note...

 

Daddy and 'Retta checkin' out the planes at the Naval Museum during our "send off" visit last week.
