Snow Day!



We started school today, but the prospect of snow was in the air and it was hard to keep the boys on task. They kept running to the window to see if it was snowing yet.  Once the snow started to fall, we of course had to take a break to try to catch some of the first snowflakes of the season.  The snow wasn't sticking yet, so we were able to squeeze in a little more work.  Once the snow started to stick though, I knew there was no use resisting.  I could make them sit and listen, but their minds were on the snow outside, not on nouns and adjectives.  Why fight it?  We called it a snow day, donned our winter gear and headed outside for some of this . . .


There's nothing quite like the first snowfall.  I'm glad we could take the time to enjoy it.
