We hardly e-v-e-r get snow days in Alaska.  Today was an exception.  The pattern of ice instead of snow in recent years really wreaks havoc on the roads, and today was one of those mornings.

The kids were sooooooo excited!  They love school, but clearly they love snow days more.  The neighborhood was alive with impromptu snowball fights and Capture the Flag matches all day long.

Another bonus:  Tess is exhausted!!

As for me… I’m heading to bed with some serious mental clarity.  A grant that is due tomorrow is polished and perfect.  My laundry is caught up, floors are mopped, and counters shining.  The residue from our craft weekend is vacuumed.

It’s been a bonus day for all… and I am grateful!
