It actually works. No kidding, it does. The kids wore their pajamas inside out and backwards last night. They slept on the opposite side of the bed. They did the snow dance and shazaam! No school today because of all the snow which fell last night.

I wonder if it will work on other nights of the week? You know, like Saturday night?

We took Madison yesterday to get her ears pierced. She’s been wanting to do this for a while and we decided that during the winter (off season) was probably the best time since they can’t wear jewelry during softball games. It’s not just the decision, it’s when to implement the decision. She’s really happy. I assured her it would sting but not hurt all that much. Don’t ask me how I know. We also made her promise that she would limit the piercings to her ear. She had to promise no other bodily piercings. You can hold an eleven-year-old to promises she made while being eleven, right?

Today is normally my day off and Beth’s day off. With all the snow it’s now a family day off. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
