Snow Day(s)

Baby It's Cold Outside

Dear Weatherman:

Thank you for granting our secret desires to have ice and snow today. School was cancelled as we wished. The kids got bundled up and played outside until their cheeks were rosy red. Eddie and I got a chance to catch up on projects around the house. I was feeling a peace about a clean house, dishes that were caught up, clean bathrooms, and laundry that was in progress. The kids and I made sugar cookies and then we had dinner and took baths. Now the kitchen is back to piles of dishes, the counters are a mess, and there are crumbs all over the floor. Why is life an endless cycle of making messes and cleaning up, repeat, repeat, repeat.

Not only did school get cancelled on Friday, but Bro. Bailey who is in the Bishopric called Friday morning and recommended that we postpone the Pinewood Derby that was scheduled for Saturday morning. This was good news, again we had more time to catch up on our own projects and relax, but I also had more time to get the Pinewood Derby event planned, since I had only known about it for three weeks and really had not started working on it seriously until last week.

Then, we received an email on Saturday night letting us know church was cancelled Sunday morning. YEAH! Can I just say I love snow days here in the south were the city shuts down when we get 2" of snow.

During our free Sunday the kids played, messed up the house, make necklaces, played, messed up the house, worked on 100th day of school projects, played, messed up the house, worked on Valentines.
Sincerely,
