Snow Day

 The school teacher decided that this was the perfect day

to call school closed because of snow. 

Snowed- in doesn't exactly apply, since we are home schooling,

 but a celebratory snow day could be accommodated. 

Every one was excited, dressed for outdoor play before breakfast was done cooking,
except for Gabe- who took 20 minutes to get dressed 

and then played outside for 4 minutes 

before he cried of frozen fingers,

because he would not leave his gloves on.

He was then happy to stay inside with mama the rest of the day.

 

 

Finally, all were ready to come in and have some tea, 

sit by the fire enjoying the warmth,

 Some even begged......

Once the noise came in, the woods were quiet and peaceful, but not empty.

We spied some neighbors passing by in lovely brown fur coats, 

seemingly enjoying the snowy day as much as the children.

There will likely be many more snowy days ahead this winter,

but the first big snow is the most exciting, the most celebrated. 

It seemed a good time to make the most of the moment. 

Currently it is 6 degrees out, and snowing still, 

with the promise of getting colder tomorrow.  

We will be glad to stay in and school next to the fire 

with tea in hand

and turkey on our mind.
