I See Snowflakes and the Kids See $$ Dollar Signs

Last week Nicholas and James Jr.  worked together after the snow we'd first gotten and made a total of $24 dollars shoveling driveways for people.  Last night we had a monstrous system move in on us, and today through tomorrow (they've forecasted) it's unloading.  Whereas I see pretty falling snow, the kids are seeing nothing but dollar signs falling from the sky, but it's given them the pefect intro to business math and making a small budget for their candy, pop, and gum.  It's great when even mother nature helps to provide school without the kids realizing it.  Here is what our neck of the woods looks like today:
It's up over the tires and that evergreen across the way just looks so pretty covered in snow!
This is headed down towards my mom's and nothings moving.
And this is across the way from our house....course that's not our trash can across the street, Nicholas had already went out and gotten our this morning but as you can see noone is really out in this and there is no traffic at all back here on our side at all.

It's snowing again here and who knows I might have to film the kids when they go out and have a snowball fight while this stuff is coming down.......sounds like a fun idea for them....and will give me a reason to play around with the computer gadgets on here....
