Snow Day #4!

It was definitely hard to believe this morning when I got the phone call at 5:40 - no school. I had already showered, gotten dressed, and was about ready to put my face on when it happened. I answered like always, "You are kidding me!" Nope, no kidding going on this morning. We've got a lot of snow! It was drifitng out in the county all last night and it would be tough for the buses to get through. We're supposed to get more tomorrow night through Thursday - could we be looking at snow day #5? Wow, I am not sure. Right now, we aren't extending our school year but are making up yesterday and today on some curriculum work days we had scheduled. Whew! Here's some pictures from our deck and it really shows how much snow we do have! Baby, it's cold outside!!!

Bundling up....

Rumor has it we are supposed to get 6-9 inches tonight of snow! WOW! Will it ever end? So, I made sure to run all of my grocery errands last night (one of my alltime dreaded activities!) But, now, I am done for the weekend and we can lounge in our jammies all weekend long, play in the snow and get WELL! I only worked 1.5 days out of 4 last week due to sick kiddos. Bryan is sick now and I'm taking any sort of medication that will prevent me from becoming ILL! I'll post a picture as soon as my family is up and I can move around a little more. Right now "the tooth fairy" aka - Kennedy - and I are watching cartoons while she's doning her new dressup outfit from Gram K! Again, pics will be posted later...

The First Tooth....

I was walking down to Hayden's KPlus room one afternoon just to check in to say hi to him. I do that on occassion, not much, I don't want to be one of those "hover moms!" Anyway, I walk in, and one of his classmates comes up to me who, I can already tell, will wear the pants in her family! She's too funny! Anyway, she comes right up to me and announces to me that Hayden lost his tooth! Disappointed that I found out from this little loud mouth, I looked at Hayden and sure enough, dangling in his hand was a "tooth" necklace that McDonald School gives to those kids who lose their tooth at school. They are very handy, in this parent's opinion! Anyway, he was very excited that he lost his tooth and he and Daddy put his tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy to come and grab it. She visited, left a couple of dollars and took the tooth! Hayden loved it! He's already getting his adult tooth and his second tooth is loose and will probably be out by the time he turns 6!

SNOW DAY!!!!!!

Well, lo and behold... another snow storm hit the Palouse and I got the early morning phone call that school for Moscow was canceled. Unfortunately, I had just gotten out of the shower and made my coffee... but not to fret - I was happy that I got to just hang out at home with the kids and relax. Especially since they both have been fighting strep throat- poor things. I took this picture right from our front window.... our neighborhood is so nice and it is absolutely beautiful with the snow on the trees. We've gotten lucky the last two big snowfalls, our neighbor has come over and snowblowed us out! Yahoo! Wonder what my luck is for a Snow Day #3???
