Hello sweetie! It is finally raining here and melting the snow! I can see part of my driveway (it got plowed), but our backyard snow may take quite a bit longer. 🙂
Hi!! 🙂
Yay, I am glad the snow is melting for you. Is school back in session?
I wish I could come help you guys plow the snow. :/ But good to hear it finally is melting away.
Yes, school is back in session and they are adding a week of school to the end of the year and making some of the half-day In-Service days full school days.
I am really happy to hear that school is back in session. 🙂
