No school!!

It has been a great day. With the ice hitting the windows last night and the forecast of more, I was confident that school would be cancelled today. (I turned off the alarm clocks.) Hooray!! We have loved it. We all slept in (I didn't get up until 8, shh) and had a relaxing day. The kids had to go out and slide around on the ice after breakfast. At first they thought it had snowed, but it was only ice. They still had fun. Mason and Carson has enjoyed it the most. Mason really needs a day to do nothing but play. He doesn't get it very often. He has played cars, legos, sword fights, and all kids of animals. I was luckily able to convince him to sit down and read his book for school. He's a good reader, just doesn't want to read until he's in the middle of the book and enjoying the story. When we lived in Colorado, there was a school district that only had school Monday through Thursday. That is Mason's kind of schedule. I think three day weekends would benefit everyone. We all need a day of relaxing or just playing a little catch up.
