It’s all snowed up

How is it that weather forecasts are NEVER accurate and yet all the forecasters still have jobs? If in any other line of work these people were as wrong as often as they are, they would be soooo fired. We were predicted to get 1-3" of snow. It ended up being about 7". Oh, so accurate. Still ,I would rather have been in Florida.

But the boys had some fun outside. Even though the time it takes to get everyone dressed and undressed from the snow gear is usually less time than they actually play outside. Uncle That Guy was kind enough to come over and shovel us out, build a great snowfort for the boys, and let them whack him with many snowballs. I do have to say that the boys aim is getting much better. As Uncle That Guy drove off (he told them they could hit the car as much as they wanted) they were pelting the car but good. Uncle That Guy opened the window to try to say something and Patrick actually threw the snowball right into the partially opened window. I think they may do really well at baseball this year.

And if you are wondering why Uncle That Guy is called Uncle That Guy…when Jack and Patrick were really little (like under 2) Thomas (aka Uncle That Guy) was walking up the path to come inside and the boys were standing at the front door waiting. I asked them "who’s that" and they said "that guy". So from that day on, he has been Uncle That Guy. And he apparently really likes being Uncle That Guy, so we never changed it.
