Snow is all fine and good until you have to drive in it. And then there's snow "play". It's all fun and games until someone gets hit with a snow ball. Kyra was a better sport about that, considering Ethan's deadly aim and her not so precise aim. So he was the only one whining when he finally got hit with snow. His retaliation, however, was to knock over part of her painstakingly erected snow fort. This seemed a bit pyrrhic considering she retaliated back. They built these things by filling empty cat litter buckets with snow and lifting them to the deck with a hose nozzle.
So today Kyra had an orthodontic appointment. No way I'm going to drive in snow (yes, good thing it only snows once or twice a year here), so Jason and his snow tires drove us there. Surprisingly, most patients did make it there, so we were unable to get in early. Unfortunately, only one tech was in, so the wait was a bit long. Then onto the light rail and then a bus and then a walk home. I hadn't even had a shower or breakfast (trying to stay on the wagon by avoiding pastry), so I was a bit cranky... But the kids were both picking on each other all the way home and I made them both take a time out when we got home.
Considering it's like 20 degrees out and very icy, we're probably due for more of the same tomorrow, god help us. I may have to hide somewhere and let them have run of the house. Sigh. Couldn't the snow have waited until next week? Or after I finished my xmas shopping????

OMG, the dreaded snow day! I feel your pain. It was super cold here today and some moms were actually saying the school should be closed. I was like "are you nuts!" I am dreading xmas break. Should start planning now what to do with my darlings. Help!
My prayers are with you for tomorrow!
