I love snow days...yes, even in April!

April 11th was declared a snow day....so much for Spring! Funny enough there wasn't a speck of snow, just a tad bit of rain that the weather stations called freezing rain.... hmm questionable.

I for one LOVED it!! What better way to hang out with family who otherwise gets caught up in the hustle and bustle of work and school. We all hung out in pjs ordered pizza and enjoyed what felt like a very long day!

Make the most of such freebies! It's easy to think about what we should be doing or worrying about how things will get done as the city is at a hiatus due to a few drops of rain. Here's how we made the most of it;

• We completed all 10 phases of phase 10! For those who have not played phase 10, it's a card game and you should give it a try. Usually we end up half way through as something comes up or someone just got tired of playing or has no hope of winning. I didn't win, regardless it was fun. Even more fun was listening to the kids laugh and giggle as they "skip" me countless times.
• Who needs to cook when you can call for pizza? We stayed in our pj's and continued card playing instead of worrying about lunch and made sure we ordered enough for leftovers for dinner.
• Convos with the kids - they were the best due to the lack of interruption.
• My daughter had her friend over and the two of them had a blast shooting a music video. I might add, that it was better than the original itself and yes, I am biased.
• My son eventually ventured out to drop off a resume at the golden arches. He also nailed a great interview.... bonus! It is truly rewarding seeing what you have tirelessly instilled come to life! He may or may not get the job but if it were up to me, I would have hired him on the spot....no biases here!

Enjoy your snow days. Let's hope we have more coming this Winter! Right now, I'm looking forward to Spring staying and of course the arrival of Summer!
