We woke up this morning to some exciting news – a snow day!
We all celebrated by sleeping in. We’ll truthfully, Dave and the kids slept in. After our alarm went off to get ready for school Dave and I checked our phones repeatedly for school closing updates. Once we saw Kora & Logan’s school listed we turned off the back up alarm and buried our heads back under the covers.
Just as I was about to doze off, my phone rang with 4 text messages from the school letting us know school was closed. By that time I was awake so I hopped up, showered, and started making pancakes while everyone else snoozed.
Kora & Logan are thrilled to have the day off and I’m happy they get to stay home for another day too. They had both Friday and Monday off this past weekend so this is a long break but I love having them around. Our plans today will be all inside since it was 10 degrees when we woke up with wind chills at 14 below and it’s only going to be a high of 12 today! Yikes!
But we’ll have fun. We played with an at home kids science kit yesterday and I know the kids would love to finish up the rest of the experiments today. I’d also like to make cookies with them and then we’ll probably play a few games.
I’ll have to squeeze in a bit of time to get some of the house clean because Logan’s birthday is tomorrow and we’re having a party for both kids on Saturday. Since my side of the family lives in Michigan and the kids’ birthdays are so close together, we have one combined party for them in Michigan around Thanksgiving and a second here in Ohio around Logan’s birthday. It will be a great time and Kora & Logan are so excited!
I’m looking forward to today and can’t wait to spend it with the kids doing science experiments, baking, and preparing for Saturday’s party. We’ll be doing our best to stay warm too and might mix a warm mug of hot chocolate in or two as well.
What about you? How is your weather today? What do you like to do on a snow day or day off of school?

ONce again today – RAIN! no snow days so far for the kids, but everyone who has to drive to work is happy. I don’t work, so I desperately miss a good “dump!”
We had rotten weather here that day too (Michigan) and I soooooooooooooo wanted a snow day! Our weather cleared up overnight though…must have come your way ;) so we weren’t lucky enough to get it. I like the kids home too.
The weather here in North Georgia threatens to bring us an ice storm! We used to make snow “paint” when my son was little and off for a snow day. We wold fill spray bottles with water and add a few drops of food coloring and spray, spray, spray!
no snow day here…just freezing cold!!
very fun!
We had the cold burst on Monday. I dont’ like snow but since we only had ONE real big snowfall this year, I felt cheated we didnt get more than a dusting. We had -30 with the windchill and noticed some area schools closed for a couple hours until the temp climbed a bit, but we didn’t. My issues is the darn teens that dont think they need to wear their hats and mittens. They think is not necessary when going in quick from the car to school and vice versa. They just don’t get that skin can be damaged in a matter of only a minute. Kids…they know all til’ their body parts start falling off or they lose an eye. *sarcasm
Our weather is very cold, low this morning was 12 degrees, warmer than yesterdays. When my son was in school, we loved snow days. We would go back to bed, only to be awakened by our son to drive him to the ski slope. Many snow days were spent watching him ski! :)
I love snow days so I don’t have to drive them to school in the snow. We usually just play games, watch movies or play on the computer. The kids also go outside to play and shovel the driveaway.
I can’t say that I have ever experienced those temperatures where I live. Right now it has been in the low thirties and that is freezing for me. It would be fun to wake up one morning to snow though.
