Not sure how much is out there at this point, but it’s still falling pretty heavily. School was canceled, which Sam is sure is due to the fact that he slept with his pajamas on backwards and with a spoon under his pillow.
Loading ...It’s new to me, truthfully. Is it a new thing, or a northern/midwestern thing, or just something only you weirdos do?
And thus we prematurely segue into the Christmas vacation, and it’s not even 9:30, and we’ve already had our first major conflagration, predictably over a video game gone wrong. I warned both boys that if there was any hollering for any reason, the game was going off…and they lasted about ten minutes before Sam ticked off Gabe enough for the Howls of Outrage to begin. When the game was extinguished, Brother the Younger turned on Brother the Older, who turned on me with indignant mutterings. All was calmed eventually, but it’s looking to be a very, very, very, very long Christmas break.
Thoughts on time killers? Sam can be chucked outside allowed out to play with his friends for extended periods once the snow stops, but Gabe will probably last for much shorter stretches in snow past his waist…
I’ve lived here my whole life and never heard of it. I’d have done it for sure as a kid otherwise!
Might be an east coast thing, but I grew up there, and nothing!
I’ve never heard of such a thing.
My kids have already been outside enjoying the white stuff. Pictures on my blog to come later…
I am envious of that snow. We continuously have been promised “A Winter Storm” for the past 2 weeks.
There might be 1/8 of an inch out there.
We were supposed to wake up to 3-8 inches of snow today.
I was so excited I stayed up until 2 am waiting to see the snow fall. (not very adult-like behavior? maybe.).
Now they threaten that a Big Winter Storm is going to hit right before Christmas, and snow every day including Christmas.
Promises promises.
I never heard of the spoon/jammies thing while growing in WI. But here in CT, it’s common knowledge. My kids swear by it.
