Homeschool Snow Day??

Somehow the kids talked me into a homeschool snow day yesterday. 

They reasoned that if public school is cancelled...we should get to have fun too. 

Well luckily for them I was kind of needing a day of fun too. 

We started with cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

Sullivan then got busy with the exercise ball. 

While he did that the girls and I made a fun owl craft. 

Torrance was very into it! 

And actually did a good job of keeping the glue where it belonged. 

Very serious work here. 

Sullivan also had fun with the nerf gun all day. 

Often shooting the pellets purposefully into places where they were hard to retrieve...like the ceiling. 

We played some games. 

This particular one ended with Tess flinging her game piece across the board and storming off. 

We have some issues with competitiveness in this house. 

Its a work in progress. 

I love how Tess is taking a picture of the game here...just like mommy.

They were excited to go outside. 

And she was the only one who wanted to stay out there!

She flung herself against the door to try and get back out...but it was locked. 

So she did this for a long time to make us pay. 

She didn't stop crying till I asked if she wanted to call people on the phone. 

A good chat with a friend or daddy is always the answer. 

We all did some afternoon reading and movie watching...and napping for mom. 

Tess feels no snow day is good unless you make cookies! 

And she's impossible to resist so we made a double batch. 

So after yesterday these are now all over my ceilings. 

And these are all over my floors.

Public school is on their 3rd snow day this week...but we are back in session today...
