Today has been the most magical yet crazy day we've had in a very long time. It started out with a drizzle, which turned into a light flurry, which then turned into a massive dump of snow!
I got a call from Ethan's preschool around 3:00 this afternoon, saying I needed to come pick him up because the school was closing. I put the twins in the car and realized I had 6 miles until empty. Being that the gas station is more than 6 miles away, I panicked just a bit. My small panic turned into a full blown meltdown when I pulled out of the driveway, only to spin in circles and get completely stuck in the snow. With the twins crying in the back and now 5 miles left in the tank I frantically called Eric. The lines were down so I tried everyone I knew to help me. Finally, Jason was able to send help so I calmed down a little. I felt like a total moron when all I had to do was put the car in reverse and slowly back it up all the way home.
I finally got in touch with Eric close to 4:00 and he let me know he was on his way to pick Ethan up. They had closed his office as well. I was so relieved....until 4:00 turned into 8:45 and I'm still waiting for them to get home! He has been giving me updates every half hour and letting me know they are okay. They stopped once to grab some food and ever since then, they have been at a complete stop. Thank goodness they have gas in the car and an ipod with movies on it for Ethan to watch.
It's supposed to snow until 6 tomorrow morning. I'm praying they get home soon and that tomorrow we can all relax and have fun playing in the snow. I'll post more pictures after tomorrow's fun!
