Snow Day!!!

There are very few times in life that a phone call at 5am is a good thing. However, if you are a teacher and it's wintertime...chances are you'll jump out of bed like a kid at Christmas just to answer it. Today was one of those mornings! (except for the jumping out of bed part...I was already up) Anyway, when I went to bed last night I was pretty confident that today would be a snow day, but I packed my lunch and went to bed at a reasonable time anyway so I wouldn't jinx it. So I wasn't surprised at all to see all the school closings this morning. Ella was up early and by 6:30 she was asking to get dressed for school, used to the schedule I guess. I told her it was a snow day and there was no school, she started crying...apparently she hasn't got the memo that kids are supposed to LIKE snow days. Anyway after a couple Dora's and some snuggling she decided she no longer wanted to go to school (go figure).Craig decided to take the day off as well and after lounging around for a bit we went to Menards to pick out tile for our basement. We also stopped by Lowe's and set up an appointment for the carpet installers to come measure. Our basement should be finished by the end of the month! This is way exciting since we have been waiting so long for everything to come together. I can't wait to start setting up Ella's playroom! I think at this point I am more excited for that than anything else simply because her room is such a total disaster with all the toys. After we got home Ella and I made a Valentine art project and then some cookies for her school party on Friday. So thank you mother nature, today was an awesome Wednesday :).
