Snow Day

WOW - A Snow day.
Always something to look forward to it when I was little. Usually it meant hot chocolate, tobogganing and being with friends. As a working mom it meant a day off, and time with the family. As a mom with older children it meant sewing - hot tea a good book and a nap.
Here at school though it means duty. Not that it is hard. It actually is a lot of fun with the girls in boarding getting a "special day".
We get to order in lunch and dinner, toboggan, we open the facilities ( pool, arena, gym, theatre to watch a movie and weight room) and the kids have some extra study time. A little TV as well if they want it.
My husband purchased 15 toboggan mats so the girls could go down the hill on campus. He loves doing this and they love getting to do this. For some of my long distance boarders, this is the first time they have ever really seen snow.
For me though - it means - no time to quilt. When you are on, you are on. Walking the house - tidying - supervising - getting the food organized etc.
Oh to be a kid and have a Snow Day......again.
