Guess who has to wake up by alarm tomorrow for the first time this week? That's me! ;)

We ended up having four snow days off from school. For new readers, I live in a rural area and actually live on a gravel road and they don't typically get plowed until everything else is somewhat clear. The buses are only driving snow routes, but I am excited for the students to get to go back tomorrow to have their Christmas concerts the next two days. My kiddos and I are fine staying home forever, but I know a lot of my parent friends on Facebook are READY for their kids to go back. ;) I enjoy all of the unexpected time off with my family that I can get. My babies aren't going to be babies forever!

Yesterday, I had the chance to bundle all of my Christmas hundreds charts hidden picture activities into one product. I know a lot of you find this much easier. You can find it by clicking on the picture below. The bundle includes 13 charts and is on sale for $8.75. 

I'm having so much fun being snowed in that I might be guilty of refreshing the school closings web page of our local news station no more than 8 million times in the last hour to see if my school has been added to the list. Yes, I receive texts from the Principal, Facebook messages, emails and a phone call, but knowing right away is such an amazing feeling! ;) Ha! Does anyone else share in this excitement?

Okay, maybe I should lay off the Coca-Cola a little! :)

This morning, I created an emergent reader and a few freebies to go along with it. Be sure to check them out! Click on the pictures to take you to my TpT store to purchase the reader or download the freebies! Just so you know, the freebies are included in the reader file if you purchase it.
