SNOW DAY!!

Snow days in Michigan are not uncommon. And right now most children are off of school for the holiday break. But when you homeschool, do you ever really get a day off???!!! Earlier this week Mother Nature treated us (some think) to over a foot of snow. What better thing to do on a sunny (but chilly) morning than..... GO SLEDDING!!!!! Don't you wish you could have joined us? It was a scheme to get out of doing government school work. Completely thought up by B.





Now to be honest, these two have way more energy than me. I can't believe how many times they walked up and slid down. The Law of Gravity says, "what goes up must come down." Many times today we found the exact opposite, when sledding - what goes down must walk back up! Does that mean these kids were defying gravity???

When I finally told them we had to leave for lunch, they were huffing and puffing, red cheeked, and laughing all the back to where the truck was parked. We all say, never let gravel pits die!!!! They can always be recycled into some snowy day fun.

Where is this pit? It looks awesome!

Storms are moving through the Bay Area, so it's been gusty and wet. We are stuck inside (a couple of museums are even closed "due to severe weather". Californians are weenies LOL), and I would rather be outside, laughing and having fun!

Maybe I should work on my blog today :)
