Snow Days - Portable - My E
Well, the last two weeks have had four bus cancellations. The first one was a huge drop of snow, but then the next two were extreme weather temperatures that dropped below -20C and then today is freezing rain. So... what do we do? Read, play monopoly (Easton's current favourite game, which he is really good at!), today I think we will write out the kids Valentines cards, among cleaning and playing with toys and other things. I was thankful that Easton got to sleep in for two hours this morning. I think he needed the sleep.
Hadley got up with me at 6am. Well, with me and the cats who are used to our company at that hour and want to be fed and snuggled. I tried bringing Hadley into my room for some me and her time as Brian is travelling for work, but the cats kept scratching at the door. While I like our cats, I don't like them in my bedroom mostly because I don't like them sitting on my head while I try to sleep.
This week Easton finally got into his portable at school. He has had his classroom in the Library since the change at the beginning of the year. So... now the school will finally have proper access to the school library which I think Hadley will love, and Easton will finally have a classroom with desks! He had tables before so it was okay, but storage and interruptions to the class were happening all the time. So hopefully the second part of the year will be a little better with an actual classroom. This is Easton's first time in a portable. Usually grade 3 and above are in portables so we were expecting a portable this year as our school is so small, but planning for school numbers were off and then a drastic change at the begging of the year with new students prompted a new class but no classroom, so we waited for a portable until February! Easton's portable is one of the farthest from the school so now he will have to plan washroom visits, and water fountain runs. His portable is right beside the grade 7/8 class. So with the ever popular grade 3/4 boy potty mouths and the grade 7/8 foul language... well, this year has already and will continue to build his character. I am thankful that he is a such a good kid!
On the note of enjoying him while he is little... He calls me My E. I noticed it the other day that is his way of saying mommy.
I love my kids. I am so thankful to be off work to be there for them whenever necessary. My plans for the day changed but I don't mind one bit.
