what to do on a snow day-the possibilities are endless...a whole day with no school!

well, first we invite our cousins ashley & lily to sleep over the night before so we can stay in our jammies the whole day. then we:

make up our own recipie for breakfast rolls, toast a little bread, present it on a bed of lettuce and call everyone for breakfast.

listen to everyone say how good they were!!
