Drennan asked that if local schools were closed today for snow then would we do school. I said "absolutely and if Daddy is off work he can help so we'll have 2 teachers." Drennan said Tad could be my paraprofessional. I liked that idea. :)

So before we could go out to play in the snow, we had to finish our bookwork.

You'll notice the teapot on the table that Tad always has ready to pour hot tea for everybody. The kids love it.


Aerial view of the kids hard at work. They are kept warm by our newly installed wood stove.


Tad is super proud of the wood stove. He grew up chopping wood for heat and he loves it. It really keeps the room toasty warm too.


After school, we bundled up everyone to go outside. Last year I didn't get to go out much in the snow because Jude was an infant. This year we just bundled him up too.


He wasn't so sure of it all. It nearly swallowed him up too. :)


The snow is so deep that they had a hard time sledding.




One last picture before we went inside. Jude was definitely ready to go in by now. Lila's poor little feet were frozen.


She ran straight to the wood stove and held her red toes up to it to warm them. So nice to have warm heat!!


Tad stayed out with the boys for a while longer.




I love snow!
