The phone was ringing at 6:20 this morning (way too early!) It was a recorded message telling me that school was cancelled on account of all the snow (approximately 2-3 inches, I know, I know, but this is Kentucky not Utah! ;)).
YA, SNOW DAY! I felt like a kid, I couldn't wait to tell Hallie that school was cancelled and that there was enough snow to build a snowman! We spent the morning sledding, building a snowman with the neighbors, coloring, and playing checkers- we don't have checkers so we weaved a board out of black and red paper... I felt like such the creative mom :) It was a fun morning.
I remember my best snow day. I was in high school and we were already in class but it was snowing heavily and the snow just kept piling up until the power eventually went out in the whole school. It was awesome! The teachers tried to keep control but eventually gave up and everyone left their classes and were running around the school acting like crazy people (we were teenagers after all). I found some of my friends and we jumped in a car and took off to the nearest church parking lot to do some doughnuts and have a snowball fight. Then we were off to another friends home to raid their kitchen and gather our others friends to hang out.
I just remember wishing everyday could be a snow day!

I am so glad you guys had a snow day! I wish work and school got cancelled here for 2-3 inches;)
I think 2-3 inches is something of an exaggeration. I think almost 1 inch is a little more accurate. But we'll take it!
We have had some really big snowstorms this year and so far school has never been canceled. I think I'm torn on the issue because I would really love my kids to experience a snow day but at the same time, I really like them having extra days off here and there.
I'm glad you guys had a wonderful snow day! It sounds like it was a success!
Love your blog! We laughed for hours the first time we saw that they closed schools for an inch of snow here (4 years ago). Now we are used to it and love it. They actually canceled church once too!
