We were lucky enough to get two snow days in a row the second week back to school! And, we knew about both at supper time the night before, which is even better. We had a great time doing a lot of nothing for two days.
The kids had fun playing in the snow
We brought a mattress to the living room, and they slept there both nights.
I was trying to get a picture of this drift. It was two feet high.
We played a lot of games
We got quite a few games for Christmas that we are loving! Our new games are: Farkle, Jokers and Marbles, Five Alive, Sequence (we've had junior sequence games, but this is our first time having adult Sequence), Battleship Royale (battleship with multiple players), Bananagrams (the boys aren't able to play this independently yet), Quirkle, Ticket to Ride junior (much quicker than Ticket to Ride, which we've had for a while).
I would recommend all of these games if you're looking for new ideas.
Update: After writing this blog post about snow days on Monday and Tuesday, we got another snow day on Friday. We thought that we would for sure have school after the first two snow days, but Friday had the worst weather of the three.
In addition to the Friday snow day, all of our activities for the weekend were cancelled due to very cold temperatures. I don't mind time at home, but by the end of the weekend, we were all going a little stir crazy.
The drift grew some more
We did get out to go bowling with our neighbors Saturday night.
The next Monday we already had off for Martin Luther King Jr Day, but a lot of schools in the area had to cancel again. With the temperatures being so low, there was no snow melt, so it all just kept blowing around and drifting roads.
It was a crazy week for weather!
