Snow days in August???

Who gets one of the biggest days in their little life delayed? Avery did this week. Kindergarden was supposed to start on Monday but it didn't until today. So they are already starting off the year -2 days. We had a big storm on Saturday and it knocked out the power for half the city. We were wo power for 24 hours. 40 Schools didn't have power Sunday afternoon so they had to call a "snow day." (they have never had to cancel school due to anything other than snow so that is still what it is called. I supposed after this we will have "weather days.") Monday afternoon a lot of schools still didn't have the internet and that is where all their databases are stored so they had to call school that day too. It delayed the end of the agony and anticipation and left me with "the start of kindergarden" butterflies for longer. I do think it was the best thing that could have happened to us. I had 2 more days with my first born baby. 2 wonderful weather days to enjoy having her with me. We went to the park for hours on Monday and went to the zoo on Tuesday. 2 extra days to have my 3 kids together enjoying fun activities. They are days I will always fondly remember. It also showed me how ready she is. Since these days were so unexpected it was even harder for her not to show her boredom at home. We had a great summer, the best summer ever but by the end she needed more!!! Needed what only school could provide her. On Monday her little brain was so ready to start school and she was craving the stimulation of it but then it didn't happen. She is ready and she NEEEDS school. After seeing that so clearly it made it much easier on me to see her leave today.
