It finally quit snowing sometime last night, so Zoe & Emily are back to school. They weren't disappointed at all when I woke them up this morning to get ready. I think they had their fill of snow days...and I did too. I did get a nice break yesterday when Jenn called and invited the girls to go over and play. I made the pie while they were gone, Zach played on the computer, and Kate took a nap. I was even able to rest and read a bit before Kate woke up and the girls came home. But you wouldn't have guessed my pretty easy day by the end of the afternoon when the house was a disaster with toys and Christmas decorations everywhere and everything the kids did annoyed me. And I think trying to figure out where to put our decorations and needing to clean every spot that I wanted to put something was annoying me too. I was one happy Mom when Matt called to tell me that the young men's activity he was going to was canceled, so that meant I was free to go out to dinner and go Christmas shopping with my Mom. The break I was hoping for was going to happen, yay! It was quite delightful and our shopping was very productive.
Today I have been cleaning. I have had no desire to clean and still don't, but it needs to be done.

Last winter when we had our massive blizzard that shut everything down for about a week, I was about to go crazy by the time we were able to plow ourselves out of our houses. Some snow is great....even a snow day here and there, but enough is enough!!
One snow day with children...priceless!
The day they go back to school...pricless! :D
Glad you got to go shopping with your Mom:)
What a fun ending to your day! I love little surprises like that:) glad you got Christmas shopping going too. It seems to be coming fast this year!
oh those much needed breaks are such a god send! I am having a day where I just don't want to do much. It is almost 12, and still in pjs and slippers, and if I could go back to bed I would!
