How I spent my snow day

Honestly, I didn't love that we had a snow day yesterday.  For one thing, because of Catherine's fever, I just didn't sleep well on the couch the night before, and I didn't really go back to sleep after the delay was announced.  For another, I had actually already taken a shower by the time we knew we were closed, and it seemed ridiculous to go back to sleep after 7:30.  Andrew and I were up, and we just decided to make ourselves some coffee.  Andrew was chatty and honestly, I just wanted to have some quiet time.  Our evening activities didn't change either since it was really just a snow burst in the morning that closed our school.

I did, however, make tremendous headway in getting the house really picked up.  There are still some frustrations, like the fact that there is still an extra mattress in Thomas's room because we aren't going to hike through all the snow from last weekend to put it away in the detached garage. Not looking promising as another 4-7" of snow is forecasted for tomorrow, and this with ice and gusty winds.  We also still have Christmas stacked in our sun room because the ladder is behind the detached garage.  The cot Robert slept on is still in there as well, so Thomas just has the tiniest bit of room to hang out with his Lego creations.  That room also has a tile floor so it kind of becomes our "mud room" this time of year.  The rest of the house though, is in pretty good shape!  I am looking forward to having three days off of school, and continuing to organize and pick things up!
