It just started snowing and look at how happy Finn is!
happy girls
snow day
Seriously, they cancelled school today. In the recent past school has been cancelled just because snow was possible here. And then it DIDN’T snow! Hahahahaha.
inside out jim jams with a spoon under your pillow
Sometimes the old tricks work best. Last night, the girls turned their jim jams* inside out and slept with spoons under their pillows. This primitive appeal to the snow spirits was heard, and this morning, Fulton county schools have canceled classes for the day giving the girls their second ever no-school-snow-day. Not only that, but the ice cream factory has canceled all meetings and made office hours optional today, so I will be working from home.
*We had some British next door neighbors for a while when Finn and Fallie were younger, and a few of their expressions stuck. Jim jams can also refer to the D.T.’s, so it also has that going for it. Also, most of the kids in our neighborhood still refer to bicycle training wheels as “stabilizers.”

sleet!
We keep hoping to get some snow but a little bit of sleet actually fell yesterday. Finn went on the deck to catch some of it (barely visible in her hair).

We did it!
This is what Finn and her friends yelled at the close of the first performance of the school play. She was fantastic. I am super proud of her. We attended the second show and my mom came from Tennessee to watch too. It was a good evening.

Fallie and I made cookies yesterday while her sister was at play practice. This eight year old is still petite enough to sit on the counter (her entire body, nothing is hanging off!) while making cookie dough.
