New Do For Effie

Snow Day

Well schools are closed today. After I posted the announcement on the school website at 5:15 this morning I went back to bed and slept until almost 8!

Not that we needed another snow day, coming off a week of school break. We had a snow day on the 14th also, and every snow day needs to be made up at the end of the year. So now we don't get out until June 21! We are planning on leaving for China on the 30th, so I'd like to have some time to get out and buy all the things we will need...

I missed Phil’s BD being sick in bed, but some friends delivered this:
