We wait for it...
we hope for it...
we cross fingers and toes for it...
then suddenly, we get the text alert...school is CLOSED today! It's followed by the family happy dance then the texting of friends (we don't want anyone to miss the good news!)
I love snow days...I will say the temps are a bit chilly, even for me...we saw -16 a couple of mornings (actual temperature, not wind chill!), but a good old-fashioned, getting-snowed-in for a few days would be fine with me any time.
So how does our day look? It starts with a big mug of hot chocolate, and if you haven't tried Double Dark Hot Chocolate from Williams Sonoma, you need to change that straight away! It is sooo good, I think "heavenly" was the word I used when I told hubby how wonderful it was.
Not cocoa powder, but a mixture of semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate shavings that melt in hot milk...yes, heavenly!
There will be a crackling fire all day to chase away the chill...and I'm sure the kids will make s'mores before the day is over. I keep a vintage metal basket by the fireplace filled with all the supplies...just in case we need a sweet treat!
Always a movie marathon on snow days...some times it's the Harry Potter series, other times it's the Lord of the Rings, Merlin, Doctor Who, or Sherlock.
On the menu for today is my daughter's latest favorite, a BLATT...bacon, lettuce, avocado, turkey, and tomato sandwich, and there's a request to bake Toll House Pie.
And so it goes, a happy Friday on the farm...wishing you a happy weekend as well, stay cozy, warm, and plan a movie marathon this weekend!
Sounds like a good snow day! We had one too, but didn't seem as festive as yours! It was peaceful though. Sandwich description is making my mouth water, will be trying that combination :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! A peaceful snow day is perfect...a relaxing way to rest after the holidays. Let me know how you like the BLATT...we're trying to decide what to add so we can call it a BLASTT...maybe Swiss or smoked salmon?
