snow day #4.

That title is just unbelievable to me. Really. 

In the 12 years I've been teaching here, we've only had 2 other snow days. 

Those were in 2005 when we had the horrible ice storm and half the town was without power. 

But we're sure enjoying these days!  

Gretchen loves to plop herself in Sophie's bean bag. It's been around forever, but since Sophie dragged it downstairs last week, Gretchie has been loving it. (She's in it right now with a doll, her purse and 2 blankets.)

Sophie created a store in the toy room...

Miss Witzy (her special blanket) cost $1000, which I thought was a little steep... even with pretend money. So I bought the little cat. He was only $4.

Gretchie loved him... 

Lawson made a restaurant in the breakfast nook. We had name cards, lots of silverware and fancy glasses. All you drink at this restaurant is Cherry 7up. And you eat dessert first. It's a pretty classy place.

Here was the menu... 

The kids went out to play for awhile (and then each napped for an hour! May have been my favorite part of the whole day!)

I told myself I would be really productive today... but I wasn't really. 

I did bake cookies. (When the kids were outside playing... I wasn't feeling up to helpers.) 

I blogged a little... washed a bunch of dishes... watched some things on the DVR... and did a lot of snuggling with a super cute baby. 

We all spent a few hours with Corey when he got off work... then he headed back out into this mess. He'll probably be gone all night... helping clear streets and parking lots. Gotta love that guy.
