Snow Day

Recently, I read a Sunday comic where the kid says that it is a fantastic forecast. Meanwhile, the parent can't understand it because there is a blizzard on the way. Last night we went to bed with a raging storm. At 5:30 AM, the phone rang. It was the room mom telling us it was a snow day. Fantastic forecast for the kids. Not so great for dad who now has three house bound kids to entertain for the day. Let alone get Michah to the Dr. for his 18 month check up and shots.

Which by the way at the appointment we found out he is in the 75th percentile for height and 97th for weight. Just goes to show you that each kid is different. Just 6 years ago, we were worried that Meghan was not growing properly because she was off the bottom of the charts. Now, we have one that is threatening to go off the top!

Meanwhile back at home, the snow day continued. When I put Michah down for his afternoon nap, it was time to shovel the driveway. By this time Sheryl was finally home from work. During the worst of the storm last night, she was called into work for an emergency heart case. Due to driving conditions and the time the case was over, she spent the night at the hospital. Meghan and Mathew decided that since daddy was outside, they wanted to play outside too. Well play soon turned into help daddy. Well for just a little while. They quickly realized that shoveling the driveway was work and gave up to build a snowman. Eventually, we all went inside for hot chocolate.
