Snow Day

This was from a snow day at some point this winter, that I never got around to posting.  We've had so many snow days this year that the public school system I work in will be in school until almost July.  And snow is forecast tonight/tomorrow morning, although spring has officially started.  I think, despite the media hype, this snowstorm will end up being more wind than snow.

Anyway, Vivian likes to play/tear apart the kitchen cabinets.  On this particular snow day, she pulled the grits out, and before I could stop her, the lid off, and poured them across the floor.  I actually have a photo of her dumping them somewhere.  I spend much of my time at home picking up after them and this day I figured since they were on the floor, they might as well just play with them and stay busy for a while. 

Sam's clean up effort involved his toy snow plow, which was great until the grits turned into sand that was supposed to spread on the road, and then I found it spread all over the kitchen and trailing into the dining room.

This was something like "Phhfllttt.." look what happened, mom.

Clean-up crew.

Kind of like a sensory table, on the floor.

If you can't beat them, join them.  I finally opened a beer and sat down with them.
