We've had such a wonderful January. The girls went back to school on January 4th. They were so excited to be back to school and to see their friends. And even happier that the weekend was only 2 days away, instead of 5. Noah went back on Friday the 5th and enjoyed his day as well. The next week was a normal week and then they were out Monday the 15th for MLK Day. Tuesday was normal until...there was snow in the forecast. It started snowing Tuesday night and when we woke up Wednesday morning, it was officially snow globe status.
Jonathan's work was closed for the day and of course, school was cancelled. They were SO excited when they woke up. The last time it snowed was on my birthday in 2017 and it's really rare for us to have two snows so close together. Jonathan let me get some work done while they kids (impatiently) waited for me so they could go outside. It was SO cold, not getting above freezing all day. I was so paranoid about them getting sick and the snow was super powdery, so they only played outside for a few minutes. They get sick of it quickly anyway because their gloves get wet and so cold!
School ended up being closed for the rest of the week, so they got another FIVE days off of school! It was another five days of playing with new toys, too much TV, crafts and lazy days. I wasn't expecting to have that time with them, so I tried to make a point to appreciate the unexpected silliness and LOUD voices. They really are so sweet.
The craziest part of living in GA is when it's below freezing with snow on the ground for 3 days and then you have 60 degree days during the weekend. We went to the park on Saturday and the kids rode their scooters and played on the playground and got HOT. Then on Sunday, they spent the rest of the day after church outside with Jonathan, riding bikes and playing. Madelynn learned how to ride a bike without training wheels!! And we went ahead and took Annabella's off too since we probably should have taken Madelynn's off 2 years ago too! They both did so well. Annabella needs some more practice, but Madelynn is good to go and SO proud of herself! I didn't get a single picture though. :(
This week has been spent getting back into the routine. As long as the weather cooperates, they won't have another day off of school until Spring Intercession in February. The girls and Noah are all so blessed to have amazing teachers at amazing schools and I couldn't be more thankful.
It's almost the weekend!
