Snow Day!
Monday, December 6, 2010 at 8:05AM
I can't believe we're having a snow day from school already, and it's only December 6th! Maybe if we start this thing earlier, we'll get it over with sooner. I vote yes!
In my opinion, there are only two good things about winter...Christmas and snow days. Come to think of it, snow days are kind of like a mini Christmas. Waking up early and getting the phone call that school has been canceled is like getting a present.
I love letting the kids sleep in, and I get very excited about springing the news when they stumble out of bed all groggy and confused. Surprise! It's a snow day! (I might be easily amused.)
It's been a warm, wonderful, cozy day filled with lots of snuggling, chocolate chip pancakes, playing in the snow, and yummy hot chocolate.

(Why do my kids continue to eat snow even when I tell them what it's full of? I guess I can't blame them, I did it too...with syrup on it to boot! Shh.)
Earlier today, I had a special mama moment. I had just finished up washing some dishes, and walked around the corner to a quiet house. That never happens! But, I found each one of my kids separately and completely engrossed in something...their something. I realized, each one of them was doing an activity that exemplifies, not just something to do, but rather who they are. It made my mama heart smile. :)
After checking the weather report, it looks like we may be doing this very same thing again tomorrow. Hooray!...I think. I see a mess starting to build.
If this keeps up, Macy will be selling these necklaces through paypal (to pay for a maid).

I miss snow days ... whether I was the one playing in the snow or making the hot chocolate! It sounds like it was a great family day. Stay warm ... I won't even mention our chilly (??) temperatures.
