I'm sad to see my eldest go back, but if school was taking my two year old, I'd be elated!

Oh yes, it's definitely time!!! Hope the snow doesn't prevent school!

omg, isn't there some kind of law against having snow days on the first day back to school? I'm pretty sure it's in the Bible.

I can not WAIT for Henry to go back to school, just to get back to a regular schedule and not have him ask me every five minutes 'what are we doing next?'

I love the snow, but maybe not THIS much!

I love the snow for the first couple of days and then, when I have been cooped up unable to go anywhere for long enough, I want it to go away. Quickly and without all the gray, nasty snow mess that usually accompanies it.

oh you poor dear!!!!!!!!!!

So jealous! We have almost NO snow in Avon Lake. And no, that is not sarcasm. I love snow. Too bad we leave for Saint Martin for two weeks tomorrow. I am sure there will be plenty left when we get back.

Oi. We are totally feeling your pain over here.

I think the seasonal affective bug has hit & we're just feeling BLARRRRRRRRGish, you know.

It would be nice if we had a car though -- would be SO much easier to get out to do simple things, like go to chapters, or a museum.

Goal for 2010: RENEW license!

I can so relate to your plea! Much as it was fun, nice, okay to have the kids free from any type of class schedules for almost two weeks now, by yesterday, both Mandy (their mother) and I were relieved at the thought that at least Maya would be returning to school -kindergarten classes this morning. That dream got dampened slightly when we learned around 10 p.m. that school is operating on a two-hour delay today due to weather -very cold temps and continual snow falling so, heaven forbid it, there is now a possibility if the snow continues to fall and accumulate overnight too much, we might end up being stuck with both kids at home, beating up on each other for lack of anything better to do, for yet another day. On the other hand, the two hour delay is going to be a little helpful considering that both kids woke up now about 2 a.m. and woke their mother up, which will still not make her a really happy camper come 9 a.m. when she will have to get up then to get Miss Maya off to school! Loved this post and especially the pictures. Too cute and also, too damned funny mostly because it is all the truth, isn't it?

Oh no - we would need a freaking blizzard up here in Ottawa to make them close schools, lol. Hoping you get a some-what relaxing day . . .

I feel your pain but I can do you one better.

We had an ice storm last December. 28 DAYS (in a row) with no school. Even the teenager was sick of being home and wanted to go back to school!

You have my sympathies. Cabin fever can be bad, but with three kids it might be coma inducing. Good luck and best wishes for a heat wave.

Oh and the best part of our week of is that on the second day of closed school I didn't even know it was closed. We get calls the night before, but my 1yo considers it his mission in life to make sure that at least one phone is off the hook at all times. So no call. Got Katie all ready for school. We were outside waiting.for.the.bus when I realized how many kids were playing outside and our neighbors informed us that yes indeed, school was closed again. Our kids even missed their Christmas party day.

OH I feel your pain... it has been snowing non-stop here, too. Add the coldness and the yuckiness of the snow to the fact that my children have been sick since before Christmas with ear infections, throat infections, pink eye, and now, over the last 72 hours, an insane stomach flu. No school for my 4 year old today. I got sick, too. It sucks, it's pretty miserable. And we leave next week for Florida, and God willing, we'll all be better by then.

Same world of hurt! We went to Giant Eagle and of course the eagles nest was CLOSED! AHHHHHHH
But now we are home and the girls are playing in the winter wonderland outside and I have brownies in the oven.
Salvation is hopefully tomorrow..please snowg-ds listen to my pleas..school be on. It is my day off from work and I want to run errands without the children.
BTW love the pictures and the captions.

I thought of you when I was checking the school closings this morning. Hope you survived!

So I have been home in Arizona for the Christmas break and I'm flying back to Vermont on Monday. I'm very concerned about my car. Its going to be a giant ice block... ugh, I just hope she starts...
