And then the snow arrived. The predicted few inches are off by quite a bit. It continues to snow heavily this afternoon. A perfect day for PJs, movies, baking, reading, and shoveling.

The cat looks very intent on learning too. The winter picture is lovely. You all got a lot done while dealing with illness.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Dawn
Kitty likes sit on books or pieces of paper or in boxes when they are in the sun! She loves to sun bathe...and provide comic relief during particularly challenging schoolwork.
DeleteJessy seems like so many homeschoolers have been sick.. 8( upswing I hope now! Love your winter pics! Peace to your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa! It seems that this time of winter is the worse for us sickness wise. Perhaps because the house has been closed up for months without fresh air flowing through or the lack of sun. We've had some mild weather so far though and spring isn't too far off.
DeleteSuper impressed at an estimated end date of April! I'm estimating ours at the end of May IF we keep on track.
ReplyDeleteWell, May is still early around here. The public school go well into June, usually the middle or end of the 3rd week. We've been very diligent about not taking many days off. A LONG summer break will be worth it!
DeleteOur snow totals weren't too accurate either! But we really enjoyed taking Friday off for a snow day.
ReplyDeleteThose forecasters try their best, but they're just aren't in charge of the weather! LOL
DeleteI'm sorry a few of you were sick. I hope you are all feeling well now and that Sam didn't get it! I see your cat likes to help the kids with their school work, too!
