snowy day

"Pancake, did you poop?"
"No, there is no poop in my body (pronounced bawdy), it just stinks in there."  Pointing to her diaper.

It snowed about six inches this morning, no roads were plowed or salted and Doodle's school was not closed or delayed.  So I loaded both kids in the car and slipped our way up the hill to school.  When we got there the parking lot was nearly empty (and not plowed) and there were only four kids' coats in the coat room.  I immediately regretted making the trek and wished I had not rushed through our morning routine -- I only did half of my yoga routine.  I left him there and decided to walk to pick him up at noon.  My neighbor and her 10-month old walked with me and Pancake to our kids' school to pick them up.  It is the only time in my life that I can remember thinking that school should not have opened in these conditions, and I grew up in Vermont. 

Doodle and his friend had a great time throwing snow balls and walking home together, which was fun to see.  I'm assuming his school will be closed tomorrow after their idiotic mistake this morning, but you never know.  Right now it is sleeting, but we're supposed to get another six to eight inches later today.


Another Pancake quote:
Picking up a doll, "This is my sistah, he's a boy."
