snow day

I don't know why, but Rachel has a snow day today. They forecasted tons of snow, the opposite side of town got eight inches, but we only had two, if that. But all of the schools in town were closed. Rachel came down all dressed this morning (which NEVER happens) because it was Wacky Wednesday today and she was excited to wear her clothes backwards and have crazy hair. When I told her it was a snow day she said, "No!!" and burst into tears. She was so excited about Wacky Wednesday.

But she got over it. Then she asked me to print her some worksheets. Huh?? Rachel wants to do extra schoolwork? That never happens either! But she did it all, even the math facts that took her FOREVER! She stuck with it and finished them all. I was proud of her.

Then she went outside with her sister to play in the snow. A little while later she came and knocked on the door and asked for clothes for her snowman, which she had made all by herself for the first time ever. So I got him some clothes and then, of course, Rebecca wanted a snowman. So Rachel helped make her one and we clothed him, too.

Here they are with their creations (on Rebecca's snowman Rachel told me she lost some of the rocks I gave her for the face, so she just used dirty snow!!!).
