Snow Days

My sister-in-law recently asked if I enjoyed the quiet on the kids snow day. I had to laugh because I'm sure she envisioned the kids out all day while I had the house to myself. Sounds delightful but so opposite of what I have around here, ever!

The kids love snow days and so do I. The kids all head out for sledding with friends and then end up back here completely soaked and ravenous, with multiple non-Parkers in tow. This is our 3rd snow day in a row(Th, Fri plus Sat,Sun, now Mon) and I have had no less than 9 kids here everyday. They are fun. They are polite. They include everyone. They play together. They eat a lot! and boy are they loud! Then they head out to do it all over again. Macie takes my cell phone and they check in with me every hour. They even take Avery to the hill next door. She can totally hang with the big kids. I am glad that ours is the house where they end up but I finally had to tell my 4 no more today! This mama needs to get her house in order!
