What a week of weather we have had here in Southern California! Monday we had about 4 in. of snow dump down on us, forcing the highway patrol to close our only road into Fort Irwin. (still no snow day by the way) Tuesday dawned bright and clear with most of the snow melting...only to be opposed by Wednesday's weather. We woke up with cloudy skies, but the road still open and school still in progress. As the day progressed, it got colder, mushier and eventually snowier. It snowed all afternoon and evening, dumping another 2 or 3 inches of snow. (still no snow day for school) After all this "weather" the school district panicked and declared Thursday a SNOW DAY! Most kids would be excited right? Not mine!! When I released the news I was presented by a loud "Ahhh...Mayonnaise" by Hannah (her latest phrase she likes to use) and other musings. According to Hannah today, Thursday, was going to be the funnest day ever. She was going to be able to wear her P.J.'s to school, and bring a pillow and blanket with her to school. Then her class was going to lay around watching "The Polar Express" while drinking Hot Cocoa and eating cookies. I almost wish I was back in school! Anya was also disappointed, because she would miss her class party too. Boo Hoo, girls, you get to start Christmas break 1 day early! As a side note today, Thursday, the "snow day" dawned bright and clear...no clouds or snow. In fact, most of our snow melted today! So, they were a little behind on their snow day. To try and make-up for the disappointment of no school(come on girls, where is your spirit!), I let them lounge around in their P.J.'s all day, watching movies, drinking Hot Cocoa and eating cookies. Sound familiar? We did get together with some friends later in the afternoon, but Hannah still declares going to school today would have been much funner. Mom's just boring I guess!
