Pizza, Breaded Mushrooms, and Napoleon Dynamite

Nothing says "Happy Valentine's Day" like pizza, breaded mushrooms, and Napoleon Dynamite! Nate and I had plans to go to a nice restaurant to celebrate Valentine's Day, but the place was booked until 9:00PM. Neither one of us wanted to wait that long for dinner so we settled for the next best thing... pizza and an order of breaded mushrooms! We brought the pizza home and watched Napoleon Dynamite. I'm sure we had much more fun staying at home than we would have had at the nice restaurant. Plus, it was nice having a laid-back night after such a crazy day at preschool. Valentine parties are never a calm affair. I cannot even tell you how much sugar came through the preschool today. There will be a lot of hyper kids at school tomorrow! Anyways, although I think the holiday is silly, I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day.

Is it summertime yet?

Today is the third snow day we have had this year. Our predicted snowfall is 9-16 inches by the end of the day. CherryVale Mall and the movie theatre are both closed for the day. I can't remember this ever happening before. Even Nate, who never gets a "snow day", is sitting here at home with me today. All government offices have closed. It has been snowing constantly since about 4am this morning. It's a very heavy, wet snowfall and everything is covered. Nate and I went outside to take some pictures (what else is there to do?) but they don't really do justice. The snow storm is a lot worse than it looks in these pictures...

What does all this mean? I AM SO SICK OF WINTER! Forget everything that I said in my previous posting. I'm ready for summer... so ready that I've spent a lot of time today surfing the internet and planning our summer vacation.
