We spent our day inside for the most part, making slime, watching a movie, playing in the basement, and getting out what seemed like every toy the boys owned. We managed to get outside once the sleet/rain stopped to play for a little bit since it was relatively mild.
Prior to Wednesday's ice day, we had our first big snowfall the Saturday before. We were a little bummed it fell on a Saturday since we wouldn't get a snow day for it, but Scott's basketball games were cancelled and he got to stay home with us to play in the snow! So, that was a win.
Sledding, hot cocoa, a fire in the fireplace; it was a nice Saturday home with the family.
Yesterday, we had our second snow day of the year. They had been building up this storm on social media and the news for the past few days so we actually got our schools' calls the night before. The boys had put ice in the toilet Monday night so it was fun to make them think their superstition worked. It took a while for the snow to start Tuesday morning so we ran out for breakfast at Leo's for pancakes. Then it was home for more science experiments, Lego challenges, and a movie.
After a late lunch, we all bundled up and went outside to play in the snow. Jameson came outside next door and joined us to go sledding in the woods. It was really fun!
We ended our snow day with some homemade turkey chili, card games at the table, and a chapter of book 2 of Harry Potter. We're back at school today, but are predicted to be off Wednesday and Thursday because of the record setting cold temps they're saying we'll get. Windchills as low as -40. No thank you! Not sure how we'll keep busy without being able to play outside for a break, but we'll see what we can do! Maybe a trip to the Cranbrook Science Center (while bundled up, of course) is in order.
