Stuck at home!

I am running out of things to get done since the kids and I are stuck at home today!!!
Last night - the weather warmed up drastically and we had 50 mph winds most the night WITH tons of rain... all night long! About 90% of our snow has melted, since we had over a foot still on the ground yesterday, it created a real mess!
At 6:30am this morning, the bus garage called to tell me that the highway was closed and they would not be able to pick up my kids... arghhh #1!
So, about 7:45am, I loaded everyone up and we attempted to head towards school.... First we saw this absolutely beautiful rainbow, which was funny as it was pouring down rain!

Since we knew that the freeway was closed - we went the "back" way - or at least tried to! This picture does not show enough detail, but - there was more than a foot of water over the road here - and the freaky part was that you could see asphalt breaking off in the lovely little waterfall to the right.... I made a couple calls to people that I knew traveled the route I was wanting to take... one made it in their jacked up truck - the other said a majority of that road was under water! ARGH #2

So - decision pretty much made... we were homebound! We headed back home, one kid was PSYCHED that he was missing school... and one boy was in TEARS... the cute little girl was angry that she could not go to school... This was becoming a recipe for disaster! ARGH #3

Picture below is the neighbor two houses down the road... He is a hay farmer and his fields were completely full of water!

This picture below is our neighbor directly across the road from us... his driveway was gone! It was like a river!

We are really fortunate that our house is up on a hill, and that our driveway is on the high side of the road! Hopefully, the rain will stop and the sun will come out - at least so I can make it to town tomorrow! The kids are driving me nuts!!!! :)
