Our first snow day of 2013 school year

Well maybe I should rephrase that because although it was an "inclement weather" day, it wasn't for snow.  It was for ICE!  The kids got out on Monday 2 hours early and this is what Karis thought about it...a big THUMBS UP!

There was an Ice Storm Warning and we anticipated getting out of school the next day but of course didn't find out until the last minute.  And we officially had Tuesday off, our first snow ice day!



The kids had to get creative with their time off, not that we were complaining!  They performed several "shows" for us including this one, "Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his hat and call him macaroni!"

 We had family Monopoly night....

Karis made a "horse"....

We spent much of the day preparing for the power to go out...taking showers while we still had hot water, washing clothes, running the dishwasher etc.  But thankful we never lost power!

Brayden counted his seashells for his 100th day celebration...

We made some homemade crayons...

 The kids had a sibling sleepover in Karis room and I loved it when this happened...

 Wednesday we had a 3 hour delay and the kids didn't have to go until almost lunch.  They spent the morning looking for icicles and exploring the damage outside.  They were thankful that they got to go in to school late however Brayden would have preferred the whole day ha!

It has been days since I got out of this house and I am starting to go crazy.  I need to get out soon!
