We have had two snow days in a row here! It started snowing Sunday afternoon, so they canceled school on Monday, which definitely wasn’t necessary, as all the snow melted overnight. But then it snowed again Tuesday morning so they canceled school again!

The teacher in me still gets so excited when I hear that it’s a snow day, even though that now means something very different! I love my kids but I do miss the days when “snow day” equaled sleeping in until noon and then watching back-to-back episodes of Law and Order all day–all while not setting foot in the snow.

Now snow day means waking up at our normal time, bundling up in 8,000 layers so we can go play in the snow for 10 minutes, and then watching back-to-back Jake and The Neverland Pirates. This new snow day may not be as fun for me, but the kids sure do love it. During quiet time, poor Sam started shouting (apparently while looking out the window), “Don’t melt! Don’t melt! Noooo! Don’t melt.” Hopefully, for his sake, we’ll get another snow day again this winter!
