Here's how we all look / feel .... Um... that would be losin' it / crazed :-).
My Lil spent time outdoors today - Olivia yesterday - may force the boys tomorrow (they love it when the snow is falling - can't wait to get out - entirely different when it looks gray and cold). I think snow day memories aren't appreciated until later.... seems the boredom sets in before reflection begins :-). Like... I remember summer evenings so fondly now - the light just right - golden with blue sky and clouds - you could swear that you could hear every kid you knew in the neighborhood at some point yelling to one another - or all the parents calling kids for dinner - faded voices in the distance, on the wind - whatever. We'd wait for my Dad to drive by on his way home from work - my feet would be dirty - we'd be cooking up a sleepover or a way to stay out past dark like playing that Ghost in the Graveyard game or something. At the time, we could be some bored, antsy kids - prone to sneaking off in the woods, wrecking each other's forts, begging past the point of appropriate to go to the pool or starting that whole "ring and running" thing with the doorbells. Now... I would love a moment with those old friends - that light.... As a kid, you don't realize that such days are numbered ;-). So... back to these snow days.... ;-)

When we got the call yesterday, the message said no school for the rest of the week, so we knew before dinnertime that we were off until Monday (which is a snow makeup day from the snowstorm a few weeks ago).
I am going crazy!
A ha - I see where our rumor that Monday is not a day off for us anymore is coming from. You guys already had that day as a make-up; we did not, but... now some of the older kids are saying we have a half day, etc. Must be doing some "inner-school" talking :-). We'll see.. And - YES - crazy here too....
The last I heard city schools have a two-hour delay on Monday (and your school follows Pgh, right?).
I also realized that Jordan is the star student next week, but since this week's star student did not get to be star student, not sure what that means for J.
Isn't it a mess? We had 100th day celebrations - Valentine's Day parties - all rescheduled?? And thanks for the Pitt schools fyi.... All the msgs we're getting from our school, so far, is "see you, Tues.", but.... that could change.... And btw - looks like we're melting today, so... a reprieve from snow?!?!
