What? Your Kids Still Had School?

Posing out front.

Yeah, that's not so helpful Alex.

Yes, that is more helpful. You just can't get good help these days!

Just like the slip-n-slide!

Apparently 6-8" of snow and more throughout the day, is not enough to get school called off in Plainfield, IL. I actually feel a bad for the kiddos who had to stand at the bus stop in all their snow gear. The kids and teachers are probably thinking, "what do we have to do to get a snow day around here?!".

That said, we are a Chicago suburb and life must go on. Alex had his first day of Creative Movement class at the YMCA, after a 6 month hiatus, and we did not want to miss out. I told Alex if the roads were too bad, we'd just turn around and come home. Our neighborhood was the worst by far, in fact I just saw a snow plow come through around 4 this afternoon.

We had a fun afternoon playing in the snow while Abby took a nice nap. She loved being at the Y this morning, with its long hallways where she could practice her walking and flirting with all the staff. Alex had a great time back in his Creative Movement class, which is a fitness class for preschoolers. Abby starts a baby gym class in two weeks. She's so social, I'm sure she'll love it! It is actually at the gym adjacent to Alex's preschool and extremely convenient for us :)
