No school and alphabet pancakes

We thought we might not have school today. Although it's right above freezing here, the rain just keeps coming and the temp is supposed to drop today. I guess they didn't want to chance having the kids come in, to just turn right back around again. And I think most of the Fort Smith area is without power, so not for sure if the church and school have it or not.

So the alarm went off this morning at 5:30 (we did loose power for about 4 hours in the middle of the night but I have a battery back up) and I slowly got out of bed. Turned on the computer and tv to find the school closings. I sure wasn't seeing anything and then wondered do I want to chance a 30 min drive into town to go to work/school? I was just about to jump in the shower to start the day when they announced the school closing....back to bed I went. Everyone woke up at 7 am hungry. Cody started to make pancakes and the kids announced they wanted alphabet pancakes. Which meant, only mommy knows how to do that. Everyone got their name (except mommy and daddy) and they gobbled them up with some turkey bacon and scrambled eggs. Yummy!!!!

We've played a little Rock Band today (in fact, Cody is still playing). The kids are in the bedroom playing and so not cleaning. I'm on the computer and thinking I really need to go shower. I also need to switch over some laundry.

Not for sure if we'll have school tomorrow or not. I really don't want to drive if there's any ice out there, so we'll see and hope that we can stay above freezing.
