ANOTHER DAY OFF.......AND IT'S B.E.A.R (BE EXCITED ABOUT READING) WEEK!!!! WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS???? I'M SURE WHEN THE SUPERINTENDENT MADE THE DECISION THIS MORNING TO CANCEL SCHOOL, IT NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND THAT THIS HAPPENED TO BE THE WEEK FOR NO T.V./VIDEO GAMES/THE WII/LEAPSTERS/COMPUTER GAMES.....ANYTHING ELSE THAT KEEPS PARENTS SANE ON A DAY LIKE THIS!!! THE SNOW WAS FUN FOR THE KIDS FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. NOW THEY ARE INSIDE, DOING THEIR VERY BEST NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER! ACTUALLY, THE DEN BLEYKER COUSINS ARE OVER WHICH IS A BIG HELP. I CAN HEAR MAX UPSTAIRS, SINGING HIS HEART OUT TO THE POCAHONTAS SOUNDTRACK, BAILEE AND SAM ARE BUILDING TOWERS WITH 'JENGA' BLOCKS AND THE THREE LITTLE ONES ARE PLAYING WITH TRACTORS. SO, I GUESS, ALL IS WELL AFTER ALL! :) I'M SEEING THE BLUE SKY ROLL IN WHICH MAKES ME SAD! I LOVE THIS WEATHER!!!! OUR NEIGHBORS, THE VANDERHAAKS, WHO WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE FROM, CALLED TO SEE IF THE KIDS WANTED RIDES BEHIND THEIR 4-WHEELER. THEY COULDN'T GET DRESSED FAST ENOUGH! AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THEY CAME LOOKING FOR HOT CHOCOLATE! IT'S 22 DEGREES OUTSIDE!!!
I JUST LOOKED AT THE CLOCK AND REALIZED THAT IT'S ONLY NOON. ONLY 5 MORE HOURS AND MY 'BACK-UP REPLACEMENT' COMES HOME!! :) QUOTING FROM MY NEPHEW ROSS'S BLOG,
'THE DAYS ARE LONG BUT THE YEARS ARE SHORT'......
SUCH A GREAT REMINDER THAT ALTHOUGH THESE DAYS SEEM TO GO ON FOREVER, THESE YEARS THAT I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING WITH THESE BOYS, ARE GOING SO FAST. THERE WILL COME A DAY THAT I WILL LONG FOR THESE SNOW DAYS WITH THEM....
WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M OFF FOR ROUND THREE OF BUNDLING THEM UP.....
OH JOY! :)

What is up with a snow day during BEAR week?! :P Cute pictures, love the one of your house. I, too, have bundled kids up a few (to many) times today...I had 4 outside before 8:00 and I think they were back inside before 8:00, too! Only 2 hr 45 minutes left...but who's counting! :)
2 hours and 24 mins. left???? what 'bear' world are YOU in??? (could we be so lucky to have b.e.a.r ending earlier than scheduled??) OR do you mean b/4 'the back-up' arrives? :) i just counted, 5 different times that i ran the dryer today....note: no real clothes were in there....just scrafs, mittens, snow pants, coats...i almost threw a kid in there too.Way too much complaining about the cold!!!!!!!! have a great rest of your day!! :)
