Yes, we are home with a snow day. We didn't quite get the amount of accumulation that was originally expected, but it was certainly enough to cause troubles, again, especially on these rural Ohio roads. Unfortunately, Andrew and Robert still had to go to school, which did not particularly please any of us. Andrew called to let me know they had made it though. I'm still slightly concerned about their drive home. While we didn't receive as much overnight it's been snowing more today than originally predicted.
In the meantime, we've been enjoying our day here. Thomas slept until 10:00 this morning. He definitely takes after his mother! I usually sleep late on snow days as well, but this morning I had too much anxiety about the other school NOT closing. I ended up getting up even earlier than on days I have to work! On the upside though, it allowed me to have a much more productive day. By noon, Thomas and I had gone through all of his summer clothes we left in the drawer from last year (as an aside, it seems absolutely ABSURD to be doing that with this much snow on the ground, but it technically is spring!) and after lunch Catherine and I enjoyed a board game while Thomas hung out with some building toys. They played a short game on the wii, and now they've been outside for the last 75 minutes or so playing in the snow. It's been a truly peaceful afternoon, and I'm very grateful for our time together today!
