It Might Snow in the South, So School’s Already Out

Here in the south, school is sometimes canceled when we get a lot of rain.  There are so many flat back roads that the school district doesn’t want buses to drive through the flooded streets.  But when we get snow – even a quarter inch, school is canceled!

What’s even better?  When snow is in the FORECAST, school is canceled.  We have a winter storm warning in effect where I live… the scariest kind – ICE before the snow.   As a result, all the counties in my area have already called off school for tomorrow.

There’s only so much TV to watch during the day.  I’m sorry if he’s not your baby’s daddy but I really don’t want my child to watch your pain!  Don’t despair Moms and Dads who are staying home with their kiddies …  there are lots of other fun things to do on a snow day!  Frugal Upstate, in fact, gives us a detailed list of 40 things to do on a school snow day including some of my favorites,

• Build a tent with a sheet.
• Have an indoor picnic.
• Let the kids choose the dinner menu and have them help you cook.
• Have a pretend fashion shoot.

Or outside,

• Make snow angels.
• Go sledding. No sled, no worries! Go cardboard sledding.

Thanks for the great ideas, Jenn. I’ll need them!
