I search “snow day” on the blog just now and discovered that every January we’ve had our first of the year. I guess we’re a little behind this year! Today it has been snowing gently, but steadily, all day. The forecast said 5″-10″ total and I thought it was a bit silly to cancel school. All the schools in the area are closed. However, Alan went into work around 1:30 and says the roads are terrible! He says he slid several times. I think he’ll have a slow drive home tonight! I guess the administration made the right call to keep the busses off the roads this afternoon.

Back on the homefront we have been enjoying the day. I exercised and made banana bread while the kids played together. They have been getting along really well today. After awhile we went outside for round one of shoveling.

All season swing set!

I think she enjoyed this job a little too much. :)

Whew! Shoveling is hard work!

Then inside for grilled cheese and hot chocolate. Quiet time, more playing. All the fun things one does on a snow day. Now they are upstairs playing school. :) I’m going to get off the computer and get back to my to-do list, which sounds boring but really it makes me happy to have some time to finally get a few things done around the house!

Happy Snow Day!

(If you have a minute type “snow day” into the blog search. I love looking back through the years. The video at the end of this one from 2011 is cute. The kids are growing up fast!)
