Yet Another Snow Day

Sometimes I really wonder why we live in Texas. The summers are awful and the winter weather is completely unpredictable. This weekend, it was in the 70s and then yesterday evening, a winter storm blew in and caused us to stay home from school not only today, but also tomorrow. Now, I'm not particularly complaining that I get to stay home with my sweet boy, but it's no wonder everyone gets sick (like all my students!) when the weather is so wishy-washy.
Jacob and I had a very lazy day today. We cuddled in bed before getting up to a big breakfast and playing all morning. After a nice, long nap, Jacob wanted to get out his new dinosaur playdoh set (actually not that new, it was from Mim and Poppa for his birthday- we just hadn't opened it!). He absolutely loves playing with playdoh and could sit at the kitchen table for literally hours just having fun!
I'm really trying to enjoy these unexpected days at home and not stress over all the stuff I'm going to have to catch up on when I go back to work (not the mention the snow day make-up days we'll have to go to school later on in the spring!). For now, I'll just enjoy the company of this little guy...
