Snow Day

Snow days do not come often in the life of a home school family. We do our work and then enjoy the snow. The good side, no pesky snow days to "make up" at the tail end of the semester. But, we don't get too excited to wake up and see snow, thinking, "no school today!" Today, perhaps, is the closest we've come to a snow day in a long while.


We had a full day planned, and as the snow fell, and falls, every event began to fall away. No Latin class. No trio rehearsal. No road trip basketball game. And the best part? We didn't know to expect it when we began the day, so the work was in the process of being complete. The afternoon suddenly was wide open in front of us.


An entire day at home! Spicy Indian chicken in the crockpot. And now, laundry complete, floors vacuumned, dust off the sills, too?


Oh yes- and snow play! The girls concocted some colored liquids to make "snow kabobs" with. They sled. Now everyone warms with popcorn and a movie. I have two new magazines to enjoy. Yay for a snow day!
