The sun did shine
But it was too cold to play
I sat in the house and
Enjoyed a snow day!
It started as a warning: March was bringing a Nor’easter and we all needed to prepare for the six to fourteen inches of snow that was coming our way. I had gone food shopping (we were close to doing our best Macguyver’s to make meals), had a variety of in home activities (bunch of books, MarioKart Wii, plenty of laundry and a movie) to occupy Mom, The Bee and myself AND was prepared for work I knew, just knew that there was no way it was going to snow and if it did then I was sure to have to work*.
Anyhoodle**, because I keep thinking that the weather does not apply to me, I was all set for the two storyhours I had planned to celebrate Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Although I don’t care for Dr Seuss (I feel his books are way to long to read aloud, repetitive and overrated) I had invited all of the daycares that I do outreach with to a special Read Across America Day complete with a visit from The Cat in the Hat himself.
Due to the snow day (gotta love that seven AM call!) I was unable to have my planned Read Across America day at work.
Sigh!
We had our own version at home. The Bee read to Arboo and Dill read a book to himself. This was done for my ears as well as the need for them to do their 20 minutes of reading that they need to do daily.

Perhaps I will reschedule my event at work. Eric Carle’s birthday is coming up and I really like his books. Can I find a caterpillar?
Not reading Seuss,
