So this post started with a little conversation with my oldest son.
Oldest- "I hope it snows tomorrow so we can have a 'Snow Day', and we don't have to do any school work!"
Me- "What? Oh, no. We are having school tomorrow. I would rather do school on a snow day than a warm day."
First thing the night before we decided to declare the day a "Pajama Day," some did and some of us ended up changing anyways.
We even decided to do extra school work since there would be little playing outside time. Which lately school has become a bit of a chore with the oldest one, I think he is ready for warm weather and more play outside. Guess what, he did all his work, plus extra, under 2 hours. AMAZING! I think he realized school is coming to an end (so is this cold weather) so the faster he gets done with school the more time he will have to play outside when it's warm.
We brought out play-doh, which is not an everyday thing. I personally am not a supper fan of play-doh but kids love it.
We made special treats, my boys love to help bake. Homemade chocolate chip cookies and rice crispy treats.
We brought out the water paints and just let their imagination go. Matt of course drew then painted his favorite TMNT, Ralph.
And of course they did play in the ice/snow! Homeschooling means we are together already for normal 'school days'. 'Snow Day' for us as homeschoolers doesn't mean no school. And we are okay with that. We would rather continue with our school schedule, plus more, and when it's warmer we will have a 'Warm Day' where we ditch school work for playing outside all day!
Hope y'all have a blessed day!
