Snow Day III

As you may know from previous posts, a snow day in our house is a special day.


Which means that you can stay in your pajamas as long as you want and you don't have to comb your hair - no matter how much it bugs your mom!

Snow Day II

Snow Day Count
Snow Days: 2
Early Outs Due to Snow: 3

Meredith had another snow day last Friday to bring us to the total count above. Beth or Kim, can either of you tell me how many snow days were built into the school calendar? Like, will they have to go to school into June again? Anyway, Meredith officially started her Christmas vacation on Friday - and is excited that she gets to be home so much. We'll see how long it takes her to start asking when she can go back to school to play with her friends!

We had a church snow day on Sunday morning in addition to the snow day for school on Friday. Meredith was totally bummed that she couldn't wear her Christmas dress to church, so she wore it around our house. She also got a bunch of little ponies for a Christmas present from a friend, so she played with those all morning long on Sunday.


Apparently the ponies were hungry for pancakes for breakfast too.

And this afternoon they all had to take a nap when we got home from work.The ponies are sharing a pillow with Meredith tonight in bed. Unfortunately that means that Meredith gets about an eighth of the pillow. Which is actually fine because she usually ends up sleeping with her head at the foot or either side of the bed anyway.

Again, fun times for snow days and Christmas break!

Another early out today.
Another chance for Meredith to go to Grandma's house and play while I went back to work.
And another chance to play with something special and fun - like my camera! I won't make you see all the pictures that Meredith took last night (all 85 of them) - but here are our favorites!

First off, we have the person holding the camera.

Next up, we have Meredith's favorite kitty sitting outside in the cold, watching our every move and waiting for the ice storm to start.


And finally, we have Meredith trying to get Jesse to look at her...Can you just hear her (in a sing-song voice), "Jeeeessssseee look at meeeeeeeeeeee!"

And if that doesn't work, she'll MAKE him look at her! Poor guy - he doesn't stand a chance against his big sister!

Meredith had another early out yesterday. The brave little school bus and driver that made it up the big hill on our gravel road - I'm glad she could see where the road was since it was totally covered! (I know the picture looks a bit grainy, but that's just the falling snow.)


Um, can you tell what her favorite colors are? Doesn't she look thrilled that she had an early out? As it turns out, I think she was just happy because of the snow; she had no idea that she got out of school early. Ah, to be a kindergartner again and blissfully unaware of things!

And poor Fluffy (my parent's dog)...stuck outside in the cold!
