Snow Day

My children are seeing the benefits of living in a cold climate. Because of the holiday on Monday, my kids already had a four-day weekend. Now it looks like they may have another one. With 8 inches of snow expected today, school has already been canceled and we all assume it will be canceled tomorrow as well. We went to the library and loaded up on books and movies. Erin and I went to Trader Joes and loaded up on snacks. The base hasn't shut down yet but Mario isn't feeling well so he's calling in sick. Unfortunately, I traded volunteer days with someone so I could be home with the family on Monday. So I have to go into the hospital all morning. But the snow shouldn't be too bad until after I get home at noon.

Nebraska has some perks (besides the friendly people.) There are days when I go to wake up the boys for school and they don't want to get up. They ask me if it snowed hoping for a snow day. But days like today when they could sleep in, they are up by 6 am. Ugh!

I'm excited for this extra family time. Hopefully the kids will get along as well as they all did last weekend. It was probably the most enjoyable weekend we have had in a long time because they didn't fight at all.
