Snowday Sanity

SNOW DAY!!!  It'd the reward that God offers to us Humans that choose to dwell in the part of his country that has winter-like weather for 6 mo out of the year.

The reward he offers to Busy moms who are getting weary of the everyday, hurry-up, get everyone out the door to school, and stay on schedule routine.

It's our chance to crawl back into bed for another hour, our chance to read a book BEFORE breakfast, because we have NOWHERE to hurry-up and go to! To cuddle for hours and stay in our Pj's all day!!!

AHHH Beautiful Snow day!!!  How I loved thee today!!!




 Poor Kitty peering in though the sliding door at us!!



10 degrees doesn't allow for hours of snow fun but we played for bit!



 We had impromptu geography lessons with Big sis!!



 We made snow icecream!!!

 He wanted NOTHING to do with staying in his Pj's all day!!!  What's that about???

    I enjoyed all these photos! You all had such a blessed day & did I see something about a nap? Well good for you :) Nice prints in the snow & hey, I even felt sorry for the kitty & I am no kitty person (allergic). I am sure the kiddos had a blast on their short outting into the snow & the snow-cream.....Mmmmm. North Carolina loves ya!

When Daddy calls home from work and says he'll be an hour late my heart sinks.  But then I realize that Dinner is ready and waiting, The house is cleaned up for Daddy's arrival, and the kids are busy playing. This means Quality crafting time!!  And I have A pile of fleece just waiting for me to dive into!! Here's how to make your own fleece bed sheet: Wash and dry your fleece on normal cycle to pre shrink it. You will need: (For a single bed) 2.5yds of 55in wide fabric (I used Blizzard Fleece) Jo-Anns Fabric 2 yds of 1/4 inch elastic matching thread The tricky part about full and queen sheets is that no one wants a seam right down the middle of their bed.. so we will put the seams at the side of the mattress using a full piece with no seam over the TOP of the mattress. For a full Bed: 4 yds fleece. 2 2/3yds of 1/4 inch
