I said a little prayer. Maybe a week or two ago. It was just a little one. I asked for one more snow day from school before we left. Ya know, just one more day to get everyone together for that first snow day of the year. A day to play inside. A day to make a big pot of spaghetti. A day for the kids to destroy the house one more time.
It doesn't usually snow in December. Not enough to close schools. So yes, it was a long shot.
But He was listening.
I heard the news on Thursday it might happen.
I went ahead and bought the food on Saturday before the Spaghetti Sauce went off sale (10 for $10 for ragu!)
The forecast was one inch of snow while we were sleeping on Saturday.
I awoke at 8am to.........
NOTHING!
Bummer. Did it miss us?
Nope. Just took a little longer than expected.
Mrs. A was doing the snow dance so I was sure that it was going to happen!
It started slow and I thought it would never cover the ground.
But after about 9am on Sunday it snow lightly alllll day. It finally covered the ground.
At 4pm the roads were getting white and icy.
The call came after that. No school on Monday. Tuesday is yet to be determined.
So one more snow day it is. Friends, playtime, visiting and spaghetti.
Can't wait.
