On this holiday Monday I spent several hours organizing family photos for a couple of scrapbooks I keep, one for each of the girls. Each book has 12 photos from each year of the girls’ lives. I’m a little behind, having last updated the books for 2007. 
And with the plethora of photos from France last year, this takes some work.
I’m also monitoring the weather (if looking out the window and wondering if it will snow tonight counts as monitoring). I just heard that the Seattle School District has delayed their start by two hours. That means nothing for PSCS. We don’t operate on a delayed basis. We are either opened or closed and we base our decision on whether or not the SSD is closed. So as of right now, PSCS is planning to be open regular hours tomorrow.
So with scrapbooks and a snow forecast in the forefront of my mind, I present this photo of Melinda and me from last July in our backyard pool in Nantes. Good times. Warm weather.
Today’s Question: What is your reaction to the expression “snow day?”
Andy Smallman 
Well, SNOW DAY means a day to play in the snow, a day to go skiing, a day to have hot chocolate and snuggle up with a good book before a fire! Yahoo! I loved school as a kid, but as a teacher it was nice to have my kids at home too so we could build a snowman or tramp around on snowshoes in the back yard and make a duck, duck, goose game! Snow days are still exciting even though I never hear about them in the context of school being cancelled. No more for now as I gotta go ski!
