And he could sleep in because he had a snow day today. Supposedly there's this huge winter storm coming in today. It's supposed to drop around a foot of snow on us in a few hours time. I guess last year they had a surprise storm similar to this one on the afternoon of a workday. The plows and snow guys weren't ready, so a lot of people got stuck on the road. It took one of our friends about 3 hrs to get home from the hospital. He lives right by us, only about 10 to 15 minutes away from the hospital on a normal day.
So there was much preemptive canceling. All the schools are closed today, Max's swim lesson at the Y is canceled, his ballet class is canceled.
I don't mind too much because I still feel like I'm recovering from our busy vacation, but Max was sad because today was going to be his last day of school before winter break. He loves school and was kind of bummed to miss it, even for our vacation.
So anyway, it's about 2PM and the snow just started. We'll see how bad it actually gets. Maybe they're not just paranoid out here, I don't know.
Kris took his mountain bike to work today. His theory is that if there's bad visibility and really bad road conditions, he'll make it home a lot faster on the sidewalks with the mountain bike. We'll see about that.
Max and I are going to hang out and watch christmas movies (if I can get the one currently jammed in the DVD player out) and maybe make some yummy christmas cookies. And watch the snow. Sounds like fun to me.
Now if everybody could just cross their fingers that they send everybody home early at Kris's work it would be great. It's a very very long shot, but it sure would be nice.

It will be hard to carry out the papers and vacuum with my fingers crossed, but I know what you are talking about, and so I will do it. I called you this morning. We're supposed to get snow, too. And I just posted, myself.
Hey!! Is that MY font???
update please! are you snowed in yet?
yes mom it's your font!
update:
Kris did get out early--about an hour early. Which could've been better, but at least means he left the hospital when it was still light. He made it home safely (yay!). We got around 8 inches yesterday, and it's still snowing lightly/moderately today and I think we've gotten a couple more inches. The hill of shoveled show in our yard is huge!
We went sledding this morning and it was so so freezing. More on that later.
We have had snow days all week too. I was so disappointed at first, but it has been quite nice!
Wow! I don't remember snow falling like that since I was a kid in MT. I miss snow storms like those. When I don't have to be out in them.......when I can be warm and snuggly in my home surrounded by my SM and punks.
