Snow Day

The kids got their wish...today is a snow day. Last night they were watching the news and listening to the radio in hopes it would be announced. It finally happened...Dalton's girlfriend called and told us that is was on the school district web site...but by the time we tried to check it out the site had crashed...that didn't seem to matter to them all they were concerned about was that the announcement had been made and there would be no school today. I doubt they will be so lucky tomorrow. Today is blue sky and high should be in the 40's.



Dalton's excitement was matched by his concern for the dogs!! He dried out their kennel, wrapped tarps around and over it and then lined it with towels to try to keep them dry. What a kind soul he has.



I don't think any of them slept last night. Dalton's friend Jacob spent the night and what sleep he did get was as a frozen popsicle. Carter and Payton ended up in bed with me...I guess it was a little colder than we are used to. Then there's Kiara, she left us to go read in the warmth of her bed. I don't think she took her coat off from the time she got home from school until she finally did climb into bed...hopefully she took it off at that time, maybe not.

What a fun night and so far today. They have gone to the park to "snowboard"...how funny. I should have gone with them to take pictures. They crack me up. I think we have stuck wet clothes in the dryer about 5 times now....they just like how it feels when their pants come out and they put them on warm....that doesn't sound like such a bad idea, I think I'll try it next time.

I hear them coming back....I'm sure they are all starving. Time for some hot cocoa!!
