At 5:38 AM I got the phone call. One I was expecting but the words on the other end made me a bit upset.
SCHOOL IS CLOSED TODAY due to inclement weather.
It was the closed part that disappointed me. Not that I don't love having my kids home and a day off of school is always nice, it is the fact that now we have to make up the day at the end of the school year. We weren't supposed to get out until June 18th and today just pushes us that much further into the summer.
What I was hoping for us a 2 hour delay. Didn't get it, so I am just enjoying the fact that I had something to motivate my kids to get their jobs done and quick this morning.
They wanted to play in the snow.
And playing they are doing. They have already been out for over an hour and they are in heaven!!!
The boys are totally loving the hill on the side of our house, they have their snowboards out and can't wait to get to the real mountain. Braden has been praying for snow since August.
The girls enjoyed sledding down the hill for a bit, then decided it would be fun to make a snowman. They used sticks for the arms, a towel for his scarf, carrot for the nose and sweet tarts from Halloween for the mouth, buttons and eyes!!In their eyes, their day is pure heaven!
1. kids
2. being able to stay home in yucky weather
3. snow (only because I can stay home)

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad Sutton canceled (even though I don't want to get out later in June) because we couldn't have gotten out to go to school even on a delay - the plow didn't come down our street until 10:15 or 10:30 this morning!
I LOVE me a SNOW DAY! :) It does stink when June rolls around but for now? LOVE IT!
When I was a kid and the one day they cancelled school it was the best. You don't have hardly any snow! Come on. We got that much the other day and life went on like usual! Love the snow man. Danika has been dying to build one but couldn't figure out how. And you know I am not going outside. You need to bring the boys out so that we can hit the real slopes!!!! I will be able to go over winter break! Come on bring them out!
You STILL have Halloween candy?!!?
Looks like we are sharing some of that weather with you guys. However we are still waiting for enough snow to make a snowman. lol.
This is great snowman snow! Sunday's snow was way too dry. You have to embrace and "love" winter or else it will be VERY VERY LONGGGGGGGGGG!!
Snow days are the best!!! Looks like everyone had a great day. Remind them of that come June - Ugh! I hate make up days, they are the worest!!!
Loved your Christmas card. Jessy and Cody are still trying to decide who is the mom and dad! lol
