Snow Day

I can always remember when school was canceled for a snow day. It was rare, but boy was it fun!! The neighborhood was a buzz that day. Phones would start ringing as soon as people woke up. Mom's would plan the meals for the day.....I have this that could go with your that. The kids would be figuring out where to meet to sled. Dad built a huge fire for everyone to warm up by. In and out we went. In to warm up with hot chocolate and to dry off. Out we went to walk to K-Mart to buy someone gloves or to Long John Silvers to buy slaw for the hot dogs. In we went to warm up by the fire and eat. Out we went for a snow ball fight. All in all...it was a day of good old fashion fun with friends and family! We would play until we wore ourselves out.

That was much of what yesterday was. School was canceled. It was Addison and Parker's first "real" snow day. We began it with chocolate chip pancakes with friends. Next, it was time to bundle up and meet everyone on the Close to play. Snowmen were built. Children were being pulled on sleds. Snow balls were flying. Snow angles were there if you looked closely. I even saw snow being eaten!!! Off to the refectory for lunch and getting warm time. Then, back to the snow. This time, a ten foot snowman was built! While some of the "older" kids worked on the super large snowman, Addison, Parker, Casey and Rem worked on the snow fort. If you were a student going to class, you instantly wore a target that attracted snowballs....whether you were up for it or not!!! Back in we went to only get dressed again to play in the snow. Finally, exhausted, we had dinner and called it a day. After a day of fun with friends and 10" of snow, we fell into bed for a good nights sleep. Oh, what a day it was!!!!
