Another Snow Day

Yesterday was our second snow day of the year! Nate and I got to enjoy a wonderful and busy day together. Nate's school appeared first on the screen. I thought to myself, "It must be really bad for them to cancel!" So I laid there patiently in bed...5 minutes...Where is my school?...10 minutes...Okay this is so not fair!...15 minutes...I'm just going to get up and get in the shower because I'm going to have school...20 minutes...FINALLY! I DON'T HAVE SCHOOL!!

Now is that any way for a teacher to act?! I do LOVE what I do, but it is so nice to have a day to get things done around the house that I don't get done until the weekend. Nate and I have been extremely busy with school. Science Olympiad is in full swing and report cards and conferences are coming up for the both of us. All we do is school work lately!

So what was the day like? On snow days usually you get to go back to bed, but I am like a little kid excited for a day off! I didn't even go back to sleep because I was so excited for the day off! I got ready and was cleaning by 6:30 a.m. I scrubbed the house from top to bottom. Finally I got finished around 10 a.m. We don't even have a big house!

After the cleaning spree, Nate and I decided to run errands. We took a nice drive down by the beach to see how the lake looked. We even saw some Coast Guard men practicing their rescue techniques in the river. Brrrr! Crazy men! After our drive I hauled Nate with me to Meijer where we did a little grocery shopping. Fun times!

When we returned home it was back to school work. Nate of course wanted to go help my mom with her computer. He loves to find anything other than his school work to do. After a couple hours of looking for viruses, Nate once again was successful in helping my mom with her never ending computer problems.

Our snow day was coming to an end rather quickly. Jaime returned home with us so she could babysit for our small group meeting at our house. She just loves watching the little ones and keeps them under control. (Maybe she'll be a teacher some day!) We ended our snow day with our friends, studying the bible and praying together. What a great end to our fun, but busy snow day! Maybe we'll have another snow day tomorrow?! It's looking pretty blustery out there. A teacher can wish, can't she?
