Snow: Now you see it, Now you don't.

Let's see, Friday? Oh yeah. Snow. Lots of it. No school in Green. But really it was OK by later morning. But still, more snow was a total bummer. It would have been absolutely gorgeous in December because the snow piled up on the branches an inch or more thick, so everything was so white. Sadly, I just couldn't bring myself to really fully enjoy or appreciate it in March.

Thankfully, though, we were still able to do all that we had planned, and since there was no school, Abby didn't have to babysit in the afternoon. That meant that we went to UV to talk to Mr. Jeff about the internship offer and what it entails, and then she could go with me to Kent to pick up Hannah. Good thing because Hannah had lots of laundry after three weeks! We needed another PackYack! And the roads were all clear because it wasn't very cold.

There is a lot involved in the internship, and the hard thing about it is that it's really only for about 3-4 weeks of the summer. So, it's not enough hours to count as a real job, but it makes it hard to get a real job and then try to work in all the things they want her to do. No decisions yet, but we're thinking we'll have to plot it all out on a calendar and see if it's all possible. And then of course she would have to get another job if she can find one. Pray!

We had chicken divine and cheesy potatoes for dinner last night, then watched A Beautiful Mind for our evening's entertainment. Very interesting movie every time.

Today Abby got up bright and early for the SAT. She and Jeff left around 7:15am. She thinks it went pretty well--so we'll be continuing to pray for that too.

The rest of us slept in some--Jeff and I went back to bed after he got back from dropping Abby off. That seems cruel when she was taking a test, but she didn't know we were all nestled snug in our beds with visions of--well, not sugar plums--maybe sunshine and flowers though. We had coffee and Oreos (Hannah and I did) and talked about her schedule a little and her spring break trip. Good to catch up a little. But it went too fast and then she had to run up to Panera to talk to Ben about a job for the summer. He gave the usual, "Call back in mid-April," answer, but did say they could probably give her 20 hours, so that seems hopeful.

Abby and Jeff got home around 1pm, we ate lunch--provided by the Peters--a very large sub they got last night at a party and couldn't eat all of it. Then we debated the schedule and how to fit in a walk, a shopping trip to get Hannah what she needs for the spring break trip, and a movie and making dinner too. We were going to just have Jeff and the girls go to the movie, and I would walk and make dinner, but Hannah said she'd rather have family time all together than something bigger for dinner. Aww...thanks, Hannah!

So we went for a walk, and oh, yeah, the snow is mostly all gone. It was 60 degrees on our thermometer, and the 4-5 inches of snow we got on Friday is all gone by Saturday afternoon. Everything is a muddy mess, but the snow is gone. For that I am thankful!

We had a little time to read, do homework, and nap briefly (when Greta wasn't barking), and then we went to see Tangled in 3D. VERY good movie! Abby is asking for it for her birthday, and I'm glad! It was well done and especially enjoyable because of Zachary Levi--lots of Chuck-like things!

Then we went to the Wal-Mart at the Strip, got Hannah's stuff and came home and had leftovers for dinner. I did make pudding for dessert so we'll have something new and special for our treat. But we ate dinner so late that it seems too late for pudding. Especially when we have to turn the clocks ahead already tonight. Oh well. I'm sure we'll still enjoy the pudding!

So, it's been a good day. Always goes too fast. A "free" Saturday should seem long and lazy and with plenty of time to do many things. But we never looked at the budget for the bonus money--we did get Abby's Kohl's scholarship nomination done which took a chunk of time in the morning. But we did have a good time doing what we did, and so that is enough!

Hoping we can skype with Katie tomorrow afternoon. Sunday afternoons always go too fast too. What is it with weekends flying by? Being content...that is a trick sometimes! So, until later, dear readers!
