Turn that Frown Upside Down!

2 unexpected snow days home with the boys!!!  What?  Did you say snow days?  In April?  Yep!  Sure did!  It started with rain, then freezing rain, then sleet and onto something that appeared like a giant snow cone making machine exploded outside.  Hence no school day 1!  This day was tough!  The boys were climbing the walls and ready to get outside and play.  They destroyed the house, threw fits, picked on each other and basically drove me BONKERS!  Not sure if it was feeling trapped inside or these pregnancy hormones but my patience is non-existent. 

Last night it started snowing...and snowing and snowing...and when Beau got back home at 10:30 he said gravel roads were awful, even in his truck.  Palm to forehead!!  First of all, there is only 1 month of school left and have SOO much to get done!  Second of all, I wasn't sure I could survive one more day stuck in the house with the boys!!  Late start as of last night.  We woke up this morning wondering how they were expecting to have school.  Gravel roads hadn't been cleared.  I don't want my munchkins on a bus on those roads!  I also wasn't sure I wanted them home all day with me :)  At the last minute they called off school.

That's when I decided to make this a FUN snow day!  That's exactly what we did!

We made sugar cookies

Yes, there's a kid in a box...He was content so whatever

We made ooblek & no you don't really eat it

It's cornstarch, water & food coloring

They played with this stuff for an hour

And Mommy spent the next hour cleaning up kids, floor and table :)

 

The boys also played outside & I got to take a nap later!!!

 

I'd say snow day #2 was WAYYY better!!

 

Now let's hope for some warm weather so we can all get outside!
