Snow Day!

Today is a milestone day for monkey. Today is his very first snow day. Ever. He now knows what it's like to drag himself out of bed on a weekday to see if the forecasted snowstorm has hit. This is a midwestern institution. Nothing will piss a school-aged kid off more than looking out the window only to find a few flurries when they were expecting a blizzard. Since it's "so bad" out, you would expect everyone to be huddled inside, staying warm. No way does this happen. All the kids go outside and play in the snow, of course. Monkey isn't quite old enough to play outside by himself yet but he can't wait for MKH to get home and take him out.

While we're on the subject of snow storms, what the hell is wrong with you people?! It's going to snow for a DAY. Tops. Is it really necessary to high-tail it to the store and stock up on non-perishables? Seriously. You'd think we were expecting an onslaught of West Nile or something.

PS. I just wrote this from my new BlackBerry. I am so high tech and cool. Huh.
