Snow Day Fun

Last week was definitely one of the weirder ones when it comes to weather.  Last Sunday morning, we had just enough sleet/ice to make the roads truly horrible; it continued through the first half of the day, and since, the temperatures were a lot slower to raise than they said, we ended up having an "ice" day on Monday.  It was nice to stay home with the girls; a lot of the time I send them to daycare on snow days so I can get either school work or house work done, but since I actually didn't have too much of either to do, we spent the day playing. 

 

Overnight it warmed up, so Tuesday proceeded as normal, but by 7th hour, the kids were bouncing out of their seats because we were under a winter storm warning.  Sure enough, with blizzard-like conditions starting early in the morning, we had another snow day!  I was actually thankful for this - even though now we have two days to make up at the end of the year - because Grace had come down with the flu late Tuesday night - what a great way to end your birthday, huh?  At first I thought she'd maybe just over-eaten, but at about 2am changing sheets for the second time, I remembered that she hadn't even touched her cake and realized that definitely wasn't the case.  And, as she's continued to have some tummy issues this week, she's obviously got a bug of some kind - poor girl. 

Gotta love the sunglasses...

remember my last entry about Grace having personality?
