Cabin Fever with Kids

School was out around these parts for 3 days last week due to tons of snow and ridiculously low temps. Even though I homeschool, it affects my life. For one thing, we get to watch the neighbor girl, which is always fun. They all play together well, so I generally make it a very low-homeschool day so they can just mess around. They get a quasi-snow day at my house. One day I had 7, then 9 kids at my house. YIKES!

So you could tell it was a boring situation when my husband says, "Who wants to flush the new toilet?"

And all the kids excitedly ran up to the bathroom like it was a ride at Disneyland ... or the Hershey Park.

  2. It has been freezing here in Minnesota too. We are finally warming-up, well thats what it other people seem to think. We have had below 0 temps for the past week and yesterday it was 15 degrees and I seen people walking into Wal-Mart without coats...crazy.

    Anyway, I have my teaching license and currently earn money at home by creating party favors, I really enjoy it but as soon as my daughter is old enough (currently 6 months) I plan on homeschooling her as well.
