This morning around 7:24 am my boys are all ready to head out the door for school.\u00a0 Teeth are brushed, hair is combed, and lunches are made.\u00a0 We hear from their dad school is cancelled it’s a snow day!\u00a0 Immediately you hear a mighty cheer come from the boys at the same time you hear a mighty groan come from their mom.\u00a0 Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy having the boys around but I also enjoy the peace and quiet when they are off to school.\u00a0 So we have made this day a productive day.\u00a0 After the kids did their chores which include cleaning their rooms, dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, and picking up all the toys around the house we made this day a true snow day.<\/p>\n

It snowed around 6 inches last night and around 3 inches the day before.\u00a0 We also have\u00a0 about 12 inches that was already accumulated from before.When we shovel the driveway we always shovel to one side.\u00a0 We do this because we live in the great state of Idaho where the wind never stops blowing.\u00a0 If we shovel to the other side of the driveway we are back out there shovelling the drifts.\u00a0 That means we have quite the mound on the one side of our drive.\u00a0 So much so I have to chuck the shovel of snow over my head.<\/p>\n

I decided the kids would have a lot of fun with a few caves and tunnels. It was a lot of hard work but the kids really did have fun making the tunnels.\u00a0 This is a great memory to go down in the books.\u00a0 They spent so much energy on making the tunnels that they haven’t even had a chance to play in them yet.\u00a0 We came in for hot cocoa and we are letting their snow stuff dry.\u00a0 Hopefully later in the day I can send them back out to play.<\/p>\n
