Ice Day

This morning at 5:43, the phone rang with the announcement that school is closed today due to weather. Our forecast was calling for 5-8 inches of snow, all falling during school hours, so I was anticipating this.

I thought how excited Cubby and Charlie would be to not only get to stay home from school, but play out in the snow, too.

Then I went outside to let Mia out and almost went ass over teakettle on the quarter inch of solid ice coating the porch.

Not so much a snow day as an ice day, then. Super.
