A day of homeschool......
Okay, so you all know that I didn't send my kids to school yesterday because of the extreme cold. They are only 4 and 6 years old.....too little to be out in -24 degree weather. To add to that, on school days I have to make 3 trips to the school. I take them in the morning, go in at 11:00 to count Hunter's carbs and give him insulin after lunch, then pick up Brylie from preschool, then go back at 3:30 to pick up Hunter. So that is 3 times I have to drag Gage out in the cold also. Yeah, not fun!
Also, influenza is going around the school. We all had our flu shots that apparently aren't working, so we have kind of been hibernating. Influenza with Hunter's diabetes would be a NIGHTMARE! It is important to keep him healthy.
So, what did we do on our day home from school? Well, Hunter completed a 10 chapter book that we had just bought the night before, we practiced counting money, Brylie and I did a lot of coloring, we read more books, practiced our counting, and just enjoyed our day in our warm home. That was actually the only day of school they had this week, so we are home for the rest of the week. Yeah, I'm one of those weird moms who really likes having all of my kids home! :)
Today we will be working at the farm house. I will take some pictures to show you of the updates. It is coming together.

I'm surprised schools weren't cancelled . . . but then again, I'm not at all used to South Dakota weather.
Glad you guys had a fun day. : )
is that moon sand? oye...we have that, but ours is all one color because of course it was all mixed up!
i didn't realize you could flatten it to cut shapes out of it---so much to learn here.
HJ,
They had been begging for moon sand, so I finally gave in....never again! That stuff is SO MESSY! I will stick to play dough!
Of course the kids enjoyed it very much. :)
Your house sounds FUN! Okay...I will keep Dawson home from school next time and send him to Teresa's school! HA!
Okay that totally defeats the purpose but it sounds like coming and going 3 times a day in this weather is silly. I totally agree!!
I don't blame you for staying home. I wanted to just hang out at home the rest of the day but had choir practice.
I wish I could have stayed home in a warm house too!
Yes, why didn't someone warn me about Moon Sand. I dispise that crap...I mean stuff!
Absolutly sticking to play-doh from here on out!
I enjoy having Just Son at home too. Sometimes we drive eachother insane, but it's mostly good.
What a wise decision to stay home. Here in Oregon everyone freaks if it gets down to 30 degrees! :0)
All three of my kids got really sick, they said it was probably influenza. Take it from me, it is HORRIBLE!
It looks like you had a great day at home!
Great job Teresa! I think these are the days our kids really remember as they get older. Can't you hear them someday saying, "Remember when we got to stay home from school because it was sooooo cold outside?"
Sounds like fun. I miss "snow days" or in your case "cold days".
I had Blake an extra 2 days home from school this week and although I was happy to see him over his sickness I missed him when he went back to school!
What a fun mom you are! I'm taking notes!
You're such an awesome mom, Teresa.
Found your blog on Weelborg's. What agency are you using?
You are auch a good mom! :) 24 below??? WHAT????!!!
