Yesterday was a big day for the kids. First day back at school since having 3 weeks off. They were excited and ready to roll. They got their clothes on and ate breakfast at a break-neck pace. The sibling fighting was even held to a bare minimum.
Time to roll out the door came and out they went. They started waiting for the bus in the unusually cold weather. They continued to wait. And waited some more.
A high school girl eventually came by to give them some of the best news a kid could get...school was put off for another day!
Grandma called school and verified the good news. The schools must have added an extra day of vacation because they hadn't used any snow days. We didn't know about it because we took them out a 3 day early to go to Disney.
Needless to say, the kids were stoked. K. went to Chuck E. Cheese with a friend while B. and C. spent most of the day playing "High School Musical:Sing It!" on the Wii.
Looking at this turn of events with adult eyes, it seems to me to be like waking up on Saturday, thinking it's Friday, getting ready for work, and then finding out it's truly Saturday. What an awesome end to a great Christmas break!

That's funny. My daughter might actually be unhappy about that (it didn't happen to us though - but we're in Chesterfield) as she REALLY looks forward to school. I can recall a few Sundays when she has asked if tomorrow is school or not, and upon saying yes, she would jump around in happiness :)
Yeah, my kids love school too, but yesterday was just too funny. Here they were all jacked up about going back to school and they didn't have to go.
They should get some sort of extra credit or something
