Snow Day!

    I have a confession that may not be popular with most KC moms.... I'm thrilled for a snow day today! Were it not for the snow, I would have been going from one commitment to another all day from 5am - 9pm... but thanks to the snow I get to spend the day enjoying my girls!

    I had a number of tasks and deadlines to meet today and I spent the last several days tackling those goals, putting myself a bit ahead of some deadlines - the reward? A day of play.

    So, what does that mean at our house? We'll make Valentines for Grandparents (we make a dozen different cards for each set of grandparents to go with our Jigsaw Puzzle Tradition). We'll play games (Uno, Old Maid, Jenga, Lucky Ducks, Pig Tails, etc). We'll play pretend... maybe castle (princess dollhouse), maybe dress up, maybe dolls or tea party. We'll make lunch together... I will probably let the girls use food color markers to draw on their sandwiches. We'll exercise in the form of playing in the kids' tunnel and dancing on bubble wrap. And, we will read  bunch of books and maybe watch a cartoon while sipping Hot Cocoa with Marshmallows and munching on Popcorn. I'll do some writing while they play a bit... try to get  a bit further ahead.

    The main thing? We'll be spending time together having fun and I can't wait!

    So, how are you spending your Snow Day?
