Snow Day! February 17, 2015

Yesterday was the first full day off because of snow...there have been a few two hour late days, but yesterday, we got the call at 5:15..no school.  Especially nice since they had just had off for Presidents' weekend, and no one wanted to go to school.   I woke them all up to tell them--Timmy's response was "union."  We are still trying to figure out what that meant!


We slept in until 9--9 o'clock!!  It was amazing.   I went outside, and shoveled all the snow--the sun was up, and before I got back into the house, some of the pavement was clear...I always say to use the sun to help you with snow removal!

We left to get donuts for Donut Day...the day before Ash Wednesday we celebrate as Donut Day.   We celebrate Donut day (kind of simplifying here) because it is the last day before Lent begins to indulge in various foods, like donuts.

I thought it was Pancake day at IHOP, but it isn't...this year it is March 3rd.  It is usually the day before Ash Wednesday, but not this year...so instead, they went sledding!!  It was a great sledding day--

Such a good picture, I am showing it again...slight difference.

And this is Anna and Lily, with Grace, when they were done.  Exhausted, and happy.   

 No one had basketball, volleyball, or crew practice...we just hung out, except for Timmy, who went to see Spongebob.  Whoever thought of Spongebob is making a fortune...even six 15 year olds wanted to go see it~!!
