SNOW DAY!!!

Don't you remember the excitment of the anticipated snow day!!  It's the reward for enduring the long, cold Canadian winter..yesterday, news on the street was that a huge storm was heading our way so of course everyone was makin' fun plans.  Our little guy came home from school and told us that his teacher advised the class to wear their pajama's inside out if they wanted a snow day to happen! SOOO of course that was the plan - we all slept with our pj's inside out!  Guess what -  it worked :)




The morning started with the excitment of early morning cartoons instead of packing lunches, violin practice, and..the rush.  We all enjoyed hot chocolate in our new favourite mugs that just arrived from Shanie!   Gorgeous - they make us smile!



By 8:45 it started..the phone was ringin' with hockey plans..sooo we told em' all to get over here and start shovelin' off the rink!  Of course it always amazes me how eager 9 year old boys are to shovel a hockey rink but ask them to shovel a driveway and they look at you all confused! 




                  Clearing the rink took longer than expected but in the end it was worth it :)


By two o'clock and tying 10 pairs of skates later the rink was full and then a massive snowball fight started...yikes.  Pizza and chips outside and everyone was smiling :)



                                   Of course then everyone was wet n' cold so this happened...




     Popcorn, hot chocolate and movie time...whew..good memories..I need a nap!




The boys spotted a pink helmet they want to get for their sister when she comes home..can't wait.



Cheers to snow days!!! But seriously one is enough..let's hope school is back in tomorrow :)
