White November

Thursday morning we woke up to this...

Anyone that has spent anytime in Oklahoma knows that Tulsa goes nuts over heavy flurries. We just dont see a lot of snow here - maybe once a year. So the schools were shut down (I remember thinking how easy these kids have it...back home they would NOT shut down school over this). But Riley and Cade were ecstatic! So I tell Riley that she wont be going to school today, and she says, "Why, is it on lockdown?" She missed school a month or so ago because the Bass Pro Shop is close to school and someone stole a "weapon" - so school went on lockdown. I thought that was funny. Back in my day we had to deal with the crazys that came in and out of school.
Anyway, the day went on and it would not stop snowing. And this is what we woke to this morning...

Notice the trampoline is buried. It is a record for Tulsa. The airport's official reporting is 10.4 inches! If you want to know how amazing this is, the previous record was 3/10ths of an INCH set 51 years ago.
Wade is hunting with his uncle in Antlers, OK, left me with the kids (snowbound and all sick...Brooke and I included). But he called this morning and said he got a 10 point buck. He hunts ducks a lot, but this is his 1st deer. I'll spare you the poor bambi pictures, but here is a picture of the snowman Riley and I built this morning...

Christy---I think its actually colder in Tulsa than Boston today.
