I had big plans.

Yes, I did. Today is my first day back from the conference and I was all set to dig in and get a ton done. . .

But I have a cold.

And the kids are home early from school due to snow.

With two friends that I’m watching because their parents couldn’t get off work.

SIGH

So instead of writing I’m pulling out my “40 Things to Do on a School Snow Day” post from last year for ideas on how to keep everyone occupied.

40 Things to Do On a School Snow Day

Right now the girls are upstairs playing dress up, and the boys are playing on the Wii, but we are going to bake cookies in a bit, and then maybe do some of the crafts from the post.  Who knows, if the weatherman is right I might have the kids home tomorrow as well.

What are your favorite things do do when stuck in the house (with kids or without) because of snow?
