Brrr

It is COLD! At least down here on the gulf coast, it is cold! Since school is getting out early today and there are whispers of it closing tomorrow, I thought I better get some fun ideas together.

First of all, food! My menu got a little mixed up this week. Tonight we are having a good old fashioned roast with veggies, gravy and homemade bread. Tomorrow I plan on cooking a big pot of potato soup with bacon, croutons, and cheese. Darn, I don't have any green onions!

Matt and I will bake some "snow" cookies in honor of the impending snow. They are actually Mexican wedding cookies but he calls them snow. I baked some last year when it snowed and now he thinks that is when you bake them and what you call them. Maybe we can share the wealth with our neighbors too.

For some more snow fun, I plan on baking this igloo cake with Matt as well

It looks pretty easy to make and I think he will have a blast.

I borrowed a couple of Wii games from our neighbor to expand our game library for the weekend. Thanks Tina, you saved me a $100!

We have a ton of library books to read including Flat Stanley and The Magic Tree House.

I also think there might be a sofa bed fort in the plans for tomorrow. Possibly with a movie and popcorn. Even if school is not canceled, I might have to make that for myself! Just kidding.

So what will you do if you get a snow day? (I know my brother and sister in law are laughing right now because this is the story of their lives for five months out of the year.)
