Yet, Another Snow Day

There's snow on the ground.  Again. It snowed the night before last and school was canceled yesterday as well as today. Add that to the fact that they didn't go at all last week.  And it's so cold out there the girls can't even go out and play, lest they freeze solid as an ice cube.  It's even been in the negative digits.  We all know that means we have to find something to do inside - besides stay in our pajamas all day - again.   So Goldilocks and I have been doing a book report.  It's due tomorrow - that is if they go to school. 

Here's the work in progress:

 
She had to use a shoe box - put the name of the book and the author on the lid - decorate the sides with scenes from the book (she really had to think on this one since the book wasn't illustrated) and she had to put six items inside the box that represented something from the story and tell how they were relevant.  She then has to summarize the book.  We are she is almost done.  Only one more item for the inside and the summary.  I hope I get she gets a good grade!

Reasey Peacy is working on a denim pillow for her bed. 

 

 

 

 She has to wait eons for the puff paint to dry before she can continue on!   But she's cool with it 'cause she's got "Bones" on Netflix, her knitting and that trendy rubber band bracelet thingy to keep her occupied.

All in all, it has been a peaceful day.  Cold, but peaceful.

"Snow" Day

School was canceled this morning . . . . just in case . . . . it snowed.  "Why o' why?" my heart does ask.

The Apple Dumpling Gang was thrilled!  No school!  Yay!  Whoopee!  The odds were ever in their favor.

So, here's the low down on how it's going down.

Snow was suppose to visit around lunch time.  Okay, I'll go with that.  No need to send those rosy little cheeks to school just to turn around and send them back.  No sane person wants to wrangle with unexpected phone calls and a place to park those anxious little bundles of endless energy.  None that I know anyway.

So, my Apple Dumpling Gang decided to make it a "Pajama Day", complete with movies and lounging around all day.  (They weren't expecting me to make them clean their pen room).  Ahhhh, the joys of grand parenting! 

I did grant them their heart's desire after said punishment chore was done. Oh, and I'm not letting them bicker.   I'm nice like that.  Ahhhh,  the joys of grand parenting!

Hold up . . . . Bob needs to tell me a story.

I'm back.

 

Um, no.  I didn't drug Reasy Peacy.  And, no.  I don't know why she's doing that.

I do know they have full bellies and a complacent spirit right now.  Even Audrey Dog

got in on the snuggles.  The only thing bothering me is Itty Bitty's bare feet! 

 

At the time of this pic, about 1:30ish, the only thing going on outside is:  grey skies, wind and little drizzle.   Be still my beating heart!  I can hardly take the anticipation of snow.  Jolly good prediction.

 

 Hmmmm. . . . so much for complacent spirits.  I hear disgruntlement going on in there.  Movie is over and the natives are restless!  They are descending upon me, by the hoards.   There's no place to hide!  No.  Place.   Ahhh. . . . the joy of grand parenting!

 

Gotta run, 'cause I'm being overrun!

 

Catch ya on the flip side!

 

PS:   It is spitting snow, and Itty Bitty has scissors ~ rolling in floor because they've been removed from her grasp.  Ahhhh. . . .  the joy of grand parenting!

 

PSS:  Did I hear someone say "NAP TIME"?   Yes?   Okay!
