Snow Day

Yet another snow day this month (I think this made #5 just in February).

I'm not complaining - it's actually been super nice to be at home with the family.

I made a point last night to get some activities set up so we'd have a fun day.

Here's what we came up with:

Breakfast, my favorite part of the day:

Strawberries and blueberries (nice treat in February) and

cinnamon toast (with cinnamon sugar - couldn't help the added treat!)

Dr. Gertie, wearing her stethoscope, checks Jude out and finds that he's A-OK!

Next was Mom's School! I found some worksheets for Jackson to do (with some reluctance) and for Jude, I pulled out the Highlights Magazines!

LUNCH TIME! I packed the boys' lunches in lunch boxes (so much better than on a plate) and inside had some surprises for them (thanks to a quick stop @ $ General yesterday). In addition to their mediocre lunches, they got Hotwheels cars, chocolate, and pencil toppers. Jackson also got an animal puzzle book and Jude got a set of color/shape flash cards! Since they had no idea about this surprise, they were pretty excited.

Jackson playing the Wii - a snow day tradition. He doesn't play Wii too often (which is something I feared), but when he plays, he really gets into it.

Last, but not least, Fireman Jude. He's all decked out in his fireman PJs, helmet, and played in his firetruck for a while.

And so now, as we begin to wind down for the evening, we're watching Spongebob! I hope it's days like today that the boys always remember. I know I will!
