Benefits of Homeschooling :)

Waking up this morning I had the nearly uncontrollable desire to go play in the snow!  At the breakfast table of course that was heightened even more as the kids could barely contain themselves to even sit and eat!  It was quite ridiculous, but I imagine many homes were the same way! 
What I can't imagine, and don't envy, is teachers today!!  Those kids are going to have the uncontrollable desire! Yet they are supposed to be in a classroom!  I'm sure there are creative things to do..but I'm so glad that we have the option to play, then do some schooling...not having to wait!  We made a fun fort - which the kids are packing the walls in, and there's a snowman as our "guard" but he seems to be camouflaged in my picture. 

I found this really neat verse in the Bible about snow, it's in Job 38:22

Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail

It's such a cool picture of God having these storehouses filled with snow, and hail, just waiting for the right time when the earth needs it, or when kids want to play:)  I know snow can be seen as a hassle and a negative things sometimes too, but today I'm just enjoying the snow, the way it makes everything look clean and fresh, and the excitment of playing in it!  And also being thankful that we homeschool so we can enjoy it together!
