Yeah, no school today!

My dream snow day  >>>>>

Well breakfast - chocolate chip pancakes.

Then about 4 hours of playing the Wii

Then the ultimate- tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch.

Eventually i might even get out of my pajamas.

So how does one get off due to rain? - And I thought u Texans were so tough? :P

I agree, playing Wii would be fun. Of course, I like the baking idea... and movies and popcorn. Pizza for dinner. Sounds like fun.

We are getting snow here... AGAIN... grrrrrr... I'd rather the sunshine we had yesterday! Oh well! ~A:)

Mel - personally, I prefer beer and a movie, however, with kids.......do you and the kids enjoy puzzles, board games, dominoes?

Great Pictures.  I would spend quality time with them and grow a stronger bond.

Hi Melody-Weather here is nasty too. Suppposed to be freezing rain. I know they are teenagers but what about having a picnic in the living room or family room with your chicken soup. Spread out a blanket, make it authentic as possible, or make pictures of your fav vacation destiny and hang them all around and have your picnic in a faraway place. Great photo's. Good luck. I got to make a run to the store myself. Have fun. :-)

Mel...you can keep your ice days.  That is one thing with snow you can pile it up HIGH!  What are the jackets for ?

Mel, enjoy the time away from normal things. I've been out and about already today and so far no crashing into guard rails. Stay safe and have fun.

Did the close the schools because of snow or rain?  We don't close our schools here until it hits 70 below.  :)

70 below huh? Thats one of the funniest things I have heard in a while. My father-in-law lived in Alaska for many years - I'm going to ask him too :)

So Mel - considering that pic above, you were out taking pictures at 4:15 in the morning? Or was that the 6 months of darkness in Alaska?

Mel, I have to laugh when I see a snow day post with a Texas Address..you guy don't know snow..It was -17 here this Morning and we are expecting between 1 to 2 feet on Wednesday, and They don't cancel school for that here.

Hi Mel,

Difficult for me to address your question because we didn't experience "ice" days. Having lived in Western New York we had "SNOW" days and there was always lot to do outside once the announcement came that School was closed.

As for the pictures you posted, WOW! I love them!

Wriet a follow up post to let us know how you filled in your children's Ice time.

How did you get no school?  Aren't you in our area (Frisco, Colony, etc.)?  We had school today.  The kids were hoping for no school though.  We are having to skip basketball practice though.

Hi Melody,

When my kids are kept home unexpectedly, I let them do whatever they want...so long as they don't bug me while I'm working (or on AR).

Hi Melody, 

When my kids  had snow days, we would stay in our P.J.s, eat... play games, Maybe do something creative like draw.

I guess you made it through the day... since I am stopping in late. I hope you had fun! 

if it is a snow day, you can always break out the wii and have some major bowling tournaments!

Look Kids ! ... Big Ben !!!!

..... havent seen a pic of that old clock from my homeland in a while :o)

We have a snow day coming tomorrow - my 7am network meeting was canceled in anticipation of 6-8 inches of the fluffy stuff ..

YIPPPEEEE - MORE SLEEP !

Pajama day!  Our school district was in session yesterday but I declared "not taking any chances driving in this crap" day. My teen played his guitar and XBOX all day while I negotiated a February closing.

Geez! No snow days for us! I wish we could have one, my little family might actually spend the day together!

Mel - so it's your turn for a little snow eh?  Hope you all had fun!
