I was praying for a 'Snow Day' last night.  The teacher of the class where I'm a Teaching Assistant was praying for one too.  We'd talked ourselves into expecting that 'snow day' phone call this morning where we'd be able to stay in bed, then leisurely get up, drink tea & watch TV all day!
The phone call wasn't to happen!

Myself & the kids eventually hauled ourselves out of bed at 7.10am & got ourselves ready for work/school.
An 8.30am start for me.  A literacy lesson & an assembly later (approx 10.30am), the Head Teacher made the decision to shut the school.  Cue 21 very excited 8, 9 & 10 year olds! Once all of the parents had picked their kids up, I made my way home.  En route, a message saying my kids school had closed for the day too. 50 minutes later, we were all home, in the warm, having lunch before the great snowball fight was to ensue.

Tears are par for the course as are cold feet & hands, but also plenty of giggles ;)
