This may not be too exciting for most, but for us it was a big deal. Our children have not had much snow experience. This was their first real snow day, and school was canceled. They were so excited to see the ground covered in snow. The snow started during the night and continued until 1 p.m. with a total of about 4 inches. The kids went out a couple of times during the day to play in the snow. It was quite the production since we don't really have clothes for the snow. We layered with pajama bottoms, then pants, shirt, sweatshirt, and jacket. Kylee insisted on wearing 3 pairs of socks. Then came the knit hats and gloves. Nothing was waterproof so the clothes and shoes got wet. When they came in I would strip the wet clothes off and warm them up with blankets and hot chocolate.
It never started to snow again, but it was cold enough that not much melted and school was canceled again for a second day. Day two started off with building forts in the living room. Then there were snow ball fights and playing on the trampoline with the snow. The children enjoyed their time home.
Are snow days worth the 2 Saturdays planned for make-up school days?
