While most of Raleigh had a snow day we decided to do school. Last night the kids voluntarily folded laundry, scrubbed pots and pans, and sorted the dirty clothes -- so clearly they were bored. We would also like to finish school in time to spend hours at the pool and beach, in May. That's the plan.
After school I hired these three to clean our driveway. They get paid in food, hugs and kisses.
But -- wait guys... That's not our driveway. That's the whole cul de sac! Oh well....it gave them great entertainment for a couple of hours.After school I hired these three to clean our driveway. They get paid in food, hugs and kisses.
I did reward their efforts with hot cocoa during our silent reading time. Lindsey saw that and said: "NOW this is going a little too far!" (Wonder where she has ever heard that???)
I must say sipping a cup of hot cocoa during our quiet reading time was great and I wondered why I hadn't thought of it earlier.
It is now 46 degrees and we are thawing out! Yeah!!

That's a great way to burn energy! Silent reading time sounds lovely, especially with hot chocolate!
Hee Hee...so funny watching them try to clear the cul de sac! :o) Sounds like a fun day!
Can you believe I didn't check my hot cocoa supplies before getting snowed in?
Hey, ship them up north, it looks like we'll be able to use their help come Wednesday night!
