Downton Crabby

Got a text this morning with the words NO parent wants to hear on the first day back to school after Christmas - I mean WINTER Break...

"No School
Snow Day"


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Please, No!  I've spent seventeen straight days with these people!
SE-VEN-TEEN. DAYS!!!  This is Downton Day!  I even have it cued up and ready to watch as soon as the minions cherubs are out the door!!!
...Maybe I can drop them off at the principal's house for a while.  No?  Ugh.

Then My mom, in her wisdom, knowing my reaction before I can even fully voice it myself, sends me this precious text:

"Take pics all day!  What a great memory maker!"

Sigh...


Well, while I did not take pictures for fear of being kicked of The Internet, here are some of my favorite quotes over this lovely, memory-making Snow Day...

-------------

Max: Mom, I can hear the ocean in this shoe!


Abby: I just need some alone time.
Me: Under the kitchen table?
Abby: Yep.  This is my alone space.


Me: Poop is funny, Luke, it's just a fact.  Stop fighting it.


Luke: Get off your sister!
Max: We're synergizing, Dad!


Luke: Max made a bow and arrows from a hanger and a bunch of sharpie markers, are you cool with that?
Me: Crap.


Me:


You people are messing up my Downton Abbey Day!!!!!



Max: VOLTEX!!!! VOLTEX!!
Luke: What does that mean?
Max: I have NO idea.


Abby: We called a truce, so we can't eat any more pineapple, Mom.
Me: Ummmmm, what?


Max: My shadow is too fast for you!!! (followed by the child running into the back door.)


Abby: AVOCADO!!! (followed by hysterical laughter for five minutes)

--------

Ahh, memories.  
Thank you, God, for the gift of laughter, so often given through my wonderful children.
And....Puh-LEASE, let there be school tomorrow.
Amen.
