Commuter Mom: Snow Day

I thought I’d share our current list of snow day activities…there is only so much playing in the snow you can do before your nose gets too cold.

• Clean out the magazines. My daughter likes to help me decide what to keep and what to recycle then put them in the appropriate piles.
• Bake cookies. Chocolate crinkles are the current favorite.
• Paint our toenails…or toes --it really depends on who is doing the painting.
• Make play dough.
• Read a book.
• Go on a virtual trip to a zoo or museum.
• Wash dishes. It amazes me how long my daughter can spend washing a bowl.
• Watch home movies. My daughter loves to see herself on the computer.
• Have a tea party. For some reason that always includes me eating too much pretend cake and getting a stomachache.
• Build a pillow fort.
• Make a construction paper collage. Or, just cut paper with scissors into little tiny pieces.

Enjoy your next snow day.
