Snow Day {a.k.a Slush Day}


THE worlds smallest snowman.  What?  Can't see it?  Its on the left in front of the munchkin in pink.  You might have to squint a little.  Its really small.

We've had a few snowy days here this February.  The first time the public schools were closed, we still had school.  The hubs came home during lunch and took them out to play for "recess" while mom stayed inside and prepped the hot chocolate.  

Since our Classical Conversations follows the public school system, when they closed today, so did we.  So...today I called it a real "snow day" and all the kids heard was NO SCHOOL and PLAY TIME.   I did take them out this morning, since the slush snow was really wet and melting quickly.

This is what they made...



All of our family in Alaska can stop giggling now.  We are aware that this isn't really snow! :)

NOT a great Starbucks Ad....

Joe took Grady into Tulsa so the guys could get haircuts.  They stopped at Starbucks on the way out of town, and went into the store.  Apparently they were training a new barista who had messed up a drink.  They offered it to Joe and Grady.  It was a coffee drink, so I'm surprised Joe accepted, but he did and gave it to Grady. 
YUM-E, says the 5 year old about the Iced-Frappachino, as they jump back into the car and head south.

Just give it a few minutes for the caffeine to kick in....
