How to make sure tomorrow is a SNOW DAY!

Let’s be honest  - everyone is hoping for it – not just a little, make-it-pretty snow; but rather we are all hoping for so much snow tomorrow that everything is shut down, that nothing is moving, that we can all either stay home by the fire, if that is your thing, or get out and play in heaps and piles of white stuff- make snow angels, snow forts, snow sculptures, go sledding, snowshoeing, skiing… the list is endless (tomorrow or maybe even tonight I’ll stick up here my personal Winter Fun List).
Whatever you do outside on a winter’s day, it will get your blood flowing, it will make for rosy cheeks and, there’s something about outdoor fun that makes hot chocolate taste much much yummier.
(Oh and don't forget to share your winter fun photos with the hashtag #fundyflakes !)
So, in the spirit of snagging you all some fun outdoor winter time, here are some ways to make sure tomorrow is a snow day.

• Put a big spoon under your pillow. The bigger the spoon, the more snow, we’ll get.
• Flush ice cubes down the toilet
• Or throw ice cubes out the window
• Put your pajamas on both backwards and inside-out
• Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand
• Yell “Snow day!” into the freezer
• Put a white crayon on every windowsill
• Run around the dining room 12 times
• My favourite – go outside and do a snowdance with friends – the more friends, the stronger the force
• And if all else fails, eat a bucket of ice cream – cause ice cream!

 
And of course, there is a prayer (written by Tara Lazar)
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for snow twelve inches deep.
Should it melt before I wake,
I pray school’s cancelled by mistake!
 
(I should do another post I suppose on how to ensure our grandchildren have snow days – that’s a tougher one… )
