Snow Day

Today is a snow day.....It is fabulous. My nephew heard about this article so we looked it up and my niece, nephew and friend celebrated by doing most of the tricks on this list. Here are a few pictures. The article is from the Associated Press, 21 ways to make a Snow Day from School. I am so grateful to God for a quiet day of rest.

"What are the snow day magic tricks?

Snow day magic includes a myriad of steps. To optimize results, students and teachers may perform each and every snow day magic trick - at the first sign of snow. Here are 21 of the most popular snow day magic tricks:

Do all your homework.

Line your bedroom doorway with white chalk.

Line your bedroom doorway with white crayons.

Plan extra appointments for the day.

Put a frozen white crayon under your bed.

Put a snowball in the freezer.

Put a snowball in the toilet.
Put a white crayon in the freezer.

Put a white plastic spoon on your bedroom windowsill.

Put a white stuffed animal toy on your windowsill.

Put ice cubes in the toilet.

Sleep backwards in your bed (head to foot).

Stick a soup spoon under your pillow.

Stick a wooden spoon under your pillow.


Stand on your head, and sing "Frosty the Snowman."

Stick something silver under your pillow.

Throw ice cubes at a tree outside.

Wear pajamas backwards.

Wear pajamas inside out.

Wearing pajamas, run five times around the kitchen table in each direction.

Of course, after completing all of these snow day magic tricks, folks may find themselves so tuckered out that they actually need a day off.

Do snow day magic tricks work?

Whether the weather is affected by snow day magic tricks may be debatable, but snow-loving folks seem to enjoy the process."
Teachers love snow days just as much as kids!!
