ILast night I was SO EXCITED because today was the first day back at school for the kids. <\/p>\n
BUT………even though it’s the first Day of School for the New Year……..it’s a freakin’ snow day!<\/p>\n
Can you believe it? <\/p>\n
Because I sure can’t. I mean, I was thrilled that I got a little bit of a sleep in, BUT….when I woke up at 7:45am and FREAKED OUT because we were going to be late – that was not so nice. But, after being told that it was in fact a snow day and after my heart moved back out of my throat…<\/p>\n
Well, then I didn’t know what to think. On one hand there was no running around trying to get everyone off to school, BUT…..on the other hand – everyone is home for the day! <\/p>\n
I was SOOOOOOO looking forward to the day without all the kids and to be able to clean up the house and to get a TON of stuff accomplished – Yah NOT!<\/p>\n
So, I will be wrangling the kids into helping out today and that might just encourage them enough to head outside and play for a good long time.<\/p>\n
The snow this year has been AMAZING. And I love it that my kids are getting the opportunity to have some “real snow time”. So often, we get just a skiff of snow and it’s hardly even enough to make a snowball, and then it washes away within the day. <\/p>\n
I remember getting a big dump of snow similar to this one when I was about 12 years old living in North Vancouver and we all thought it was the best things ever. In fact, I think that the private school that I went to even cancelled for one day, and that was a miracle because it was NEVER cancelled – not for any reason.<\/p>\n
So, like I was saying, I love that my kids are able to get out and really enjoy the snow. It is sure making for a fun winter and some great memories.<\/p>\n
Do you have snow this winter? Have you got any good memories of snowy times in your past? Have you been able to make any great memories this year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
