No School--Day 4!

What do you do when you get FOUR days of NO SCHOOL due to icy weather and snow??

Bundle up and play in the white stuff. 

 Capture the snow in a net.

 Kick around. 

 Make snow angels.

Drink hot cocoa with a little extra chocolate added for good measure!

Watch t.v. 

(Poor X-man started running a fever on Tues. night. 

The upside of being sick on snow days--you don't miss school and have make-up work!)

Play Legos--even in bed/couch if needed. 

Wear crazy socks and bundle up.

I bought these blue striped socks at the Dollar Store on my mission many years ago. I LOVE THEM! and they almost have holes in them and I can't find replacements and I'm sad.  Best buck I ever spent.

Play Jenga.

Play marbles.

Play mancala (and get whooped!)

Build. 

That's a banana.

Make cupcakes.

Rejoice in life's little treasures.

I found the RIGHT conversation hearts at Walmart yesterday. 

I almost did a jig in the check-out lane.

Celebrate Nutella Day. 

I guess it's tomorrow, Feb. 5, but any day is a celebration with Nutella!

Tues. we had rolling black outs, so we just bundled up. Our fire alarm went a little berserk and wouldn't stop BEEPing. Luckily, the electricity came back on, and it quieted down. And X-man is on the mend, so life is good. Cozy. Sweet. Not getting much done. Still fun.

1 Hour later...

A bit of bickering. A LOT of noise.  Toys and stuff everywhere. 

A bunch of people in a small area.  For FOUR days.  Still fun???!!
