School's Out! Snow Day!

A snowstorm dumped 25 cm of snow on Toronto this past Friday. At around 11:30am Dylan's school decided to close and the teachers began to call parents to come and pick up their children. This was highly unusual because the last snow day called by the Toronto District School Board was 30 years ago.

Unfortunately, I had just come off several night shifts and I was asleep with the phone ringer off and my white-noise machine on. The school called our home, my cell phone, and finally they contacted Andrew. Andrew phoned and phoned but could not rouse me. Finally, he called our neighbour who came pounding on our front door. I finally made it to the school around 1:30. Here is a photo of Dylan, heartbroken, as he was lead away from school (NOT!)

Dylan was able to spend the day making a wonderful snow fort in our neighbour's yard and enjoying some decent snowfall.
