Today school was canceled, which just makes me laugh. Growing up school was only canceled when you couldn’t see two feet in front of you. I remember sitting in class staring out the window and thinking, “I have to walk home in THAT! Can we go home.” THAT was so thick and heavy you could see 5 ft from the window. Living in the city, I chuckle at the amount of snow THAT causes school to be canceled. Times change and when we are young everything is so much bigger than when we are adults. Who knows maybe I was just small and the snow seemed more then. I will say I remember shoveling snow thigh deep snow and being able to go to the neighbors and jump off the roof of the garage into snow piles. Not happening here.

Now my own kids are making there own memories. This morning after panicking because I was on the treadmill and let them sleep in, they came down stairs full dressed and ready for school. LOL!! WHO KNEW THEY COULD GET THEMSELVES READY FOR SCHOOL??? Both girls couldn’t wait to get outside to play in the snow. The neighbor kids joined them and after a few hours they were cold. The nice thing was no matter how cold they were they kept a smile on their face and enjoyed the time to play outside with their friends. Just like kids should do.
