Snow Day Woes

Woes?  On a Snow Day, you ask...

I never thought this day would come.

The day when I was bummed when my phone rang at 5am to announce a snow day.

But it happened.

And, if you heard a loud groan coming from SW Michigan this morning, that was every teacher in my district simultaneously bumming out because this snow day puts us over our limit... so we'll be having to make this day up.  Our last day of school is May 31.  Or was.  I guess now we'll be heading back in for a last day on a Monday. Providing there are no more snow days between now and then!  CRAZY!

I did have a productive day though...

I finally watched the finale of "Top Chef" (*SO* wish Sheldon could have made it to the finale!!!), worked out, picked up the house, and added three new hallway hunts to my collection!  These are for math though... this gal's branching out!

Here's what I made today.  Want to win them?  Just leave me a "hello" and I'll have hubby pick a random number tomorrow to win, win, win all THREE!

    Snow days can always be both good and bad... but it looks like you were productive, at least! :) These look great!

    So sorry you have to make up the day! We have to make up ALL of our snow days as they don't build any into our calendar so it's 181 days no matter how long it takes us! Ugh!

    I'd love to win your hallway hunts! Thanks for the chance!

    So jealous you had a snow day today! We never use all of ours. We still have 4 left and we could have used one today. We went an hour late instead. These hunts look great!

    Glad you had a productive day! We had a snow day in Indiana as well! It was our first of the year, so everyone was really excited. If it helps, we don't even have a snow day limit. In IN we have to make up every snow day!! Love your products!!

    I love your idea of hallway hunts - so imaginative. I'm in the UK and we've had our snow and thinking about the difference in school years - ours finish towards the end of July! I have my fingers crossed.
