My son isn't in school yet, but I'm pretty excited about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871748 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 10:42:34 +0000 josina 2871748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today makes 10 snow days I think... some schools around us are adding 10 minutes before and after school to help make up the days!<br /> I'm sooo sick of having to drive on the crappy roads though, Monday was the worst so far.<br /> The one positive is we're saving a bunch on daycare, since when my step-daughter (15) doesn't have school, the LO's stay home with her... great for us, but she's also burnt out, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871702 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 08:02:31 +0000 SweetCaroline 2871702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! We've had 5 snow days, 2 early dismissals, 2 swim lessons cancelled, 1 gymnastics cancelled, several dentist appointments cancelled. My kid is an expert at flexibility now. I'm over it. Come on Spring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871700 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 08:00:44 +0000 gotkimchi 2871700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: that’s been our situations as well. It’s rough. I’m actually thinking all these snow days are going to start being a problem with school getting enough days in</p> <p>@Mrs. Turtle: that is a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871691 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 00:45:46 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2871691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't complain because our winters here are pretty mild, but we are having a pretty impressive storm right now and are definitely going to be stuck at home tomorrow because of it. This morning I tried to take O to school but got the car stuck on our long, sloped driveway. Stayed home and watched the snow pile up all day and tonight we have another 10-14 inches in the forecast. This is out our front door this evening. I'm not sure how I'm going to even exit the house in the morning! Also, shoveling with a 9 month old and a 3 year old...how is this going to work?</p> <p>ETA: This is AFTER I shoveled the walk way and front step at 1:30 this afternoon. :shocked: </p> <p>[attach=5595/19/pmuo0b.447x600.51732486_354033048657202_3526842386867027968_n.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871690 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 23:34:06 +0000 PurplePeony 2871690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, schools here are closed AGAIN tomorrow. We have had 5 full snow days and one early dismissal in the past two weeks. DH finally got home after being stuck away for two extra days due to canceled flights but needs to go to work tomorrow, which means MY work is going to suffer again, and another day at home is going to drive me over the edge! AAGGGHH!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871607 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 13:14:34 +0000 gotkimchi 2871607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RonjaL7: we did make snow ice cream in our last snow day, the kids got a kick out of that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871606 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 13:13:10 +0000 RonjaL7 2871606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some ideas for stay at home all day activities for young kids...</p> <p>-put snow in bucket and food coloring in water and let the kids add the coloring to the snow with droppers<br /> -make maple candy with maple syrup and snow<br /> -have a spa day with comfy clothes... paint nails, wear a mask (avocado, eggs, oil, etc. can be whipped into a mask)<br /> -Freeze toys in water and let the kids watch them melt in a hot water bathtub </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871585 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 10:55:05 +0000 Lahela017 2871585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!! It seems like its snowing 3"-6" every other day for the past couple weeks, and its supposed to keep up! It's making for some nasty commutes and a lot of shoveling....</p> <p>I'm pregnant this winter, so I can't even do any of the winter sports I normally do to enjoy the season. This winter is getting really long since I'm just stuck in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-snow-day#post-2871584 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 10:49:53 +0000 gotkimchi 2871584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kids are off school again and we’re trapped in the house. Anyone else? I’ve really been struggling this winter and I need t to be over! </p>
