<\/a><\/p>\nSo, we’ve been getting creative…<\/p>\n
Tim made a big fort with the couches yesterday.\u00a0 That was a big hit.\u00a0 Today Chloe and I made special nutella cinnamon sugar cupcakes.\u00a0 They were fun.<\/p>\n
This cold snap is being called a Polar Vortex.\u00a0 I know it’s a technical term to explain the temps, and wind and flow, etc.\u00a0 It has definitely been chilly.\u00a0 It frosted over the screws on the inside of our door on the dead bold.\u00a0 We had ice in the inside of most of the windows–and a really thick layer on those with the shades closed.\u00a0 And it closed down the schools for 4 days. Yup.\u00a0 No school again today.\u00a0 That means my kids have had 6 days off of school (if you include the weekend).\u00a0 They will go back tomorrow for one day and then have another weekend.\u00a0 Ha!<\/p>\n
We are all feeling the effects of being home too many days.\u00a0 Stir Crazy is in the air.\u00a0 Poor Tim is feeling more of the brunt of it since I’ve been just teaching as normal.\u00a0 I did move a few lesson to earlier in the day, since there was no school, in order to let them drive when it was still light out rather than dark.\u00a0 Somehow the cold doesn’t seem as oppressive in the gorgeous sunny day.\u00a0 I mean, look how lovely it was!\u00a0 A bright, clear, sunny day–you would have had no idea it was as cold as it was!<\/p>\n
