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)
