“I am about ready to eat my children,” said one mom, who declined to be named.
She’d never make it as a homeschooler :)
Go out and have a snowball fight. Build a snow fort. If it’s deep enough in drifts, dig a tunnel. Walk to the shopping center and play king of the snow mountain or slide down snow mountain (where they pile up the snow in the parking lots). There’s tons to do when you’re snowed in. Most of it, of course, involves snow.
The kids will remember that stuff forever. And, mom might have fun too.
Exactly! Kids and snow have an affinity. Where else can you let them go outside, roll around on the ground, and not get dirty? My kids and I (and even a couple of grandkids) have all experienced Alaskan winters, and now that the grandkids are moved away, they say the only place they ever want to move is a place with SNOW.
It’s called having fun with your children and building memories. Doubt if most of them have a clue as to how to do either or the importance of both. And I am sure that some of the children will be more than happy when Mommy goes back to work.
