Snow Days

Well, kids went to school on Monday but Central Park was closed due to inclement weather the rest of the week. We got 8 inches of snow on Tuesday and 4 more on Friday. Emma and Bodi stayed home Tuesday and Wednesday and luckily, Pine Crest opened on Thursday and Friday. Thank goodness, they were going stir crazy! Although they opened with limited hours, the kids were happy to get out of the house. They're calling for more snow tomorrow (Sunday) but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Central Park will be open tomorrow.

I worked from home on Tuesday but the kids were pretty needy. I got the question, "Can we go outside?" every 5 minutes so I sent them upstairs to watch a movie. Emma came down later and told me Bodi locked her bedroom door and asked if I could unlock it. Well, it was dinner time and I was busy making a meatloaf so I told her I would be up in a minute. I asked if Bodi was in her room and she said no.... so I thought I had a few minutes to spare. She seemed pretty upset and wanted me to hurry. She finally told me Layla was inside her room. I told her to give me a second but she insisted. I asked what the urgency was and she said that Layla was all alone in there and that she was probably scared. After we unlocked the door, we discovered the urgency. Emma had put Layla in her tote bag and had her hanging from the door knob. I don't think Layla minded too much, she actually looked pretty comfortable.

We finally took the kids outside to play Thursday after work but it was so cold. We only stayed outside for about 20 minutes and the kids were ready to come inside.
