We got to enjoy our first snow day of the 2007-08 school year on Wednesday. We knew that it was going to snow, but it all came down to timing, with the bulk of the snow hitting between 2-4 AM. It started with a 2 hour delay, but we got the call at 8:20 a.m. and there was much rejoicing. We finished breakfast, relaxed for a bit, then I cleared the driveway while the kids played in the snow. Maria and Sam were a little disappointed that it wasn’t “snowman” snow, but it was just a bit too cold for things to stick. Lisa made hot chocolate when we came in and warmed us up nicely. The rest of the day was filled with TV, Wii, and plenty of rest and relaxation. Lisa and I knew when we went into teaching that there weren’t a lot of fringe benefits in the profession...no year-end bonus, company car, comp trips to Hawaii, and no executive washroom...but snow days are definitely one of the best perks ever.
