top things to do on snow days

Top things to do on snow days: besides clean out closets and fight with the 7 year old who thinks cleaning her room requires moving out. Because surely I don't love and appreciate her if I ask her to do such strenuous tasks. (Her words not mine)

make gingerbread houses

make sugar cookies

eat sugar cookies

go on a ride in the tractor with cousin Maddux and Uncle Bones

have a snowball fight

build a snowman

pose for the camera... and make sure to have at least one child use socks for gloves

throw snow at the camera person

sip hot cocoa with candy canes

make jello stars and eat them. Some might have had a little bit of toe jam in them as well.

And I love what a horrible mother you are being by turning your beauty queen into a cinderella. Are you secretly a step-mother and just won't own up to it? Do you have a cat named after Satan? These are things we must know before we can take sides on who is right. I am glad to see, though, there are other mothers on the planet vying for that most mean mother position. Vying for it being the operative word, as the crown will most surely be mine. But I'll give you a fancy wave on my float during Onion Days. No worries.; December 22, 2010 at 6:59 AM

I like the socks for gloves--very practical.; December 22, 2010 at 8:10 AM

I was really tempted to put grocery bags over my kids boots yesterday to make them stay outside longer. That's kinda like socks on the hands, right?; December 22, 2010 at 8:46 AM
