Snow!!

So we are predicted to get a lot of snow.  Or at least a lot of snow for us here in NKY.  I don't think we have had a storm that dropped more than 3 inches of snow this winter and this storm is predicted to leave anywhere from 5-11 inches.  So I guess that must means March is in like a lion and out like a lamb..or hopefully out like a lamb!  All that to say that on the day we are predicted to get the biggest snowstorm of the season, they don't cancel school even though the storm was due to start at 8 am.  No, instead they decide that letting them out two hours early in the middle of a KY blizzard would be a much better option!  Is that insane or what?  I just can't seem to get into the minds of the administration of our school district.  Mackenzie has had I think 7-8 snow days.  Many of them for absolutely pointless reasons...such as a dusting of snow.  Only probably 2-4 of the days they missed were actually warranted.  But on a day that cancelling was probably in the best interest of all involved, nope.  So they actually had to call and let us know that indeed they made a insane decision and they are letting the kids are even earlier than what was previously announced.  Yes...as you all can tell I am absolutely flummoxed by their lack of insight.  Fortunately for them, winter will soon (hopefully) be disappearing and in its place will be some amazingly beautiful weather that warms my very chilled to the bone body.

On a happier note, Elliana is doing a fantastic job with the whole potty training bit.  No accidents in two days despite being out and about a lot.  And her speech therapist is quite happy with her progress.  She is really starting to say more words and trying to articulate them more clearly.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  All the girls took a bubble bath this morning and I got a cute picture to post once I download from my camera!

I had to laugh at your post about snow days. Other friends of mine that grew up in the north and are now living in the south have expressed their frustration as well. That's what ya get for living in the South! Just kidding!
