FINALLY!! Our first snow day of the season. We got about 8 inches or so last night. Whoot!! Sledding tomorrow!!! I'd say sledding today, but Corinne was up from 3 am on last night with a low fever. Groannnn... I know, I can't complain toooo much. She's usually a great sleeper and all, but it still sucks when they're sick. We watched Mary Poppins in the wee hours.... I love Julie Andrews! Can't she babysit MY kids???
All I can say is Whew! I don't have to get everyone up and at'em!! Extra coffe in my jammies.... AND it's a Friday, so 3 day weekend, baby!

We may go out to play for a bit later on, but I can't imagine dragging a toddler that is getting over a cold out into the piles of snow.
Dang! My eldest just walked into the room and I SWEAR he grew again last night! He's shooting up like a weed! I have to call the bowling alley today to set up a party for him. Sob! Apparently, I'm old enough to have a NINE year old... Apparently, my baby is allowed to be almost as tall as I am...
My Haiku for Today:
~A perfect Friday~
Heater on full blast
Snow is drifting through my yard
Children close and safe.

Great picture!! Stay warm and safe!!
Love the haiku!
Sometimes I wish we could go out and sled... the kids miss the snow so much. Well, two of them do. Little Bug is not fond of it. He's more like me :)
You can have my snow too, if ya really want it. I'm all for spring coming early. But it is nice to be warm and snuggly in your house with your fam.
Have a great weekend!
That sounds sooo cozy. Have fun!
we have a snow day today, too! i threw my kids...and hubby...in the dungeon...they were trying to take away my computer!
so, have a wonderful snow day...it is kind of nice to not be on a schedule...schlepping to and fro!
great weekend to you!
I'm so glad we just got an inch yesterday. Enjoy it though.
Love the picture.
wow you are lucky. when we have a snowday (here in CA!), invariably the power is also out and there is not a poppins or a noggin or a tubby in sight.
sigh.
We have a snow day here today as well, thanks to all the ice. Dang it. I hate when I get up at 5:45, get the kids up at 6:00, and find out at 6:30 that school is closed. Arg. And all the work I have to get done today - holy smokes! I'll be up late tonight for sure. :-(
love the photo. stay warm!
Your haiku is perfect for today. And Yay snow! That is a lot of snow for one day, hey? Have a wonderful weekend.
I love the picture of the kids! We didn't have school today so everyone else having a snow day foiled our plans :( But oh well we made do anyways!!
Yay for snow days! My boys are both home today, too! Cute picture of the three kidlets!
Thanks Tracey for the kind words you sent yesterday, I truly appreciate it so much! Have a wonderful weekend!

Ok, HOLY CRAP on the snow! Way more than 8 inches! My kind neighbors saw me out shovelling all alone and helped me, or else I'd still be out there!! Evan is drinking some hot chocolate as I type and I am going to make some warm lunch...
Congrats on your 3 day weekend. I think being cooped up watching Mary Poppins sounds like one jolly holiday.
My kids have a PD day today AND it's snowing. But it's also -20, so we're not leaving the house....
geez....
My son has outgrown EVERYTHING HE OWNS. No wonder we're poor.
who DOESN'T love Julie Andrews. a friend of mine knows her, and says she has a bumper sticker on her car that says "Mary Poppins takes uppers" hee hee hee
You can have all my snow!! We got it today...first a bunch of rain, and then snow snow snow. Three or four inches. Yuck!
But I'm glad you had a good day. :)
Have fun in the snow, and hope Corinne feels better soon!
Love your Haiku and picture! Too cute!
wow look at all that snow! Have fun tomorrow, and I hope Corinne is feeling better!
Cute pic of the kids too!
Very cute picture!
We had a mini ice storm here in upstate NY today. Lots of schools were closed, but not my husband's. Boo! Hiss!
Lovely post and great pics!
Hope the fever is over quick so you can play!
Have a great weekend!
OMG--I found you at Painted Maypole and I knew there was a reason to visit!!! Chicagoland *sniff*
I lived in West Burbs and miss it. I miss the snow and digging out my car. I miss the art museum, science center, aquarium, restaurants, shopping, PEOPLE (I have cows). I know . . . crazy, but I miss it.
Love your haiku and clearly this is not "just another mommy blog!"
All the schools around us were closed on Friday, but not ours, oh no. Which was fine, actually, since who wants to go extra days in the summer?
Everyone always says they want Mary Poppins, but I think it would be hard to be the boss of someone who was quite sure she was "practically perfect." >grin<
Great captures you have here, love the kids and the beauty of nature. Happy WW!
