...
Snow days are the BEST thing in the world. You can stay home! You don’t have to go to work! You can laze around in your pajamas all day! You technically don’t have to get anything done because it’s like a bonus day! A get out of jail free card! Enjoy the laziness!
... that is unless you have a small army of toddlers and/or infants running your household. I’ve become the cynic, the parent who cringes at the words “snow day” in fact there might have been a little tear at the thought of another housebound day with kids who today were literally jumping off furniture- bouncing off the walls. Activities, outdoors, and distraction are all necessary tools for survival! Today was frigid here and we exhausted all our possibilities ... it was a long day! And then, tonight, kids (and teachers) everywhere were jumping for joy because tomorrow? Snow day again! For frigid temps! You know what that means? Too cold to go any.where. And NO beautiful fluffy snow to play in/distract! It’s cruel! So... I’m pulling out all the stops tomorrow, and my type A personality self made a list. So if you’re like me and need a list here’s mine:
And my almost 4 year old helped me.... so some details are irrelevant but we’re VERY important
1. Make Jello Jigglers: dinosaur and circle ones
2. Make banana bread
3. Make a fort/ color a cardboard box
4. Bounce house (we have one in the basement)
5. Bowling w household items
6. Make necklaces out of pasta and string
7. Make an obstacle course
8. Survive!
Now as I sit here in my pajamas all of that sounds way too ambitious. But tomorrow is a new day and golly piffle it will be a great -albeit cold- day!!!!
