What. The. Heck.

So Pat and Todd came this evening to celebrate Carter's birthday.  It was PORING down rain all day and most of the evening.  We had an interesting situation during supper.  At about 8:30 Brian says "Honey?"  "Yes?" I say.  "Hurry up and look outside."  I'm kind of freaking because of the aforementioned incident.  I slowly and cautiously approach the front door to find S-N-O-W!  On the ground.  Accumulating.  My poor little plants aren't going to make it.  I have no idea what's planted out there and now, I may not find out till next spring.  Really?  Two days before Carter's big party?  What.  The.  Heck?  :º)
