SNOW DAYS!!!!
















Monday the news started all the ominous reports about the up coming blizzard. I wasn't to concerned until the blizzard watch became a blizzard warning a good 15 hours before the storm was going to hit. So, Monday afternoon we conquered all of our errands and our home was well stocked. Tuesday started out innocently enough, but by 3 o'clock or so, the wind was really starting to get strong. By 9 p.m. the storm was raging and school was cancelled for all 5 of us. What do you do then? Why plan a great day full of all of our favorite activities. We had a huge breakfast, played in the snow (when the wind was taking a break. After the picture by the ornaments, the winds picked back up and the little gold one is buried), watched a movie and had pizza.
The fun continued this morning when the school district had a 2 hour delay. This meant that C and E didn't have to be at school until 10 and that Lily and I had the day off. Shawn of course didn't get today off which was just fine with us as we were all able to bring him doughnuts and balloons at work to celebrate his birthday. So, we'll finish up his birthday with a concert at both C's and E's schools, a nice dinner and a tasty surprise dessert.
It's been a lot of fun the last couple of days. I hope you are having fun as well!
