Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Not Going to School

It's really cold in Boston today.  It was about -9 degrees overnight with windchill and today when we woke up it was a toasty 1 degree Farenheit.  Our house is old and was built as a carriage house and has no insulation and very old windows.  Not to mention the heat doesn't consistently work at a tolerable temperature.  So waking up today was not fun.  The kids all took a long time to get out of bed, and when I walked by Sam's room, he asked, "do we have school today?"
"Yes," I said, "school today for everyone."
"Why?! It's so cold out!" he replied.  We went back and forth for a few minutes before he told me, "I'm not going to school."  I ignored it, not having time to argue in the morning.
Usually the weather is not a huge factor in Sam's life, he'll go outside in anything, so I was a little bit surprised, but then again it's super cold.  All I wanted to do was crawl back in bed.
Chris came upstairs to get Lanie dressed and I told him Sam was refusing to go to school. 
"I heard," he said. "Something about having to a dancing unit in gym?"

Ahhh....
