We don’t own a flask. How is this possible? We are parents who like to drink, and we don’t have a flask. Which means I was forced to put the family bourbon in an old honey jar to take to the playground. That must break about twenty etiquette rules. Don’t tell Emily Post.<\/p>\n

But I get ahead of myself.<\/p>\n

We–along with most of this country–had a snow day (and why not? Did you know that 49 states had snow<\/a> as of yesterday?). And (except for a flask) I was prepared. I was so<\/em> prepared! We had everything we needed for the perfect snow day.<\/p>\n

Morning in bed, reading to the kids from On the Banks of Plum Creek<\/em><\/a>? Done.<\/p>\n

Playing in the front yard while I shovel… and shovel… and shovel? Check.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

New paint and plenty of popsicle sticks for the kids to make pictures and towers? Got that covered.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A little excitement of a downed (unused) wire that warrants a visit from the fire department? Arranged especially by me for my darling children’s enjoyment!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bake cookies<\/a> with the kids? Complete with whole wheat pastry flour purchased in advance just for the snow day? Of course!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A new book for the Tag reader and a new Didj game? All taken care of.<\/p>\n

Quick board game break? Complete with letting the scared-of-losing child win.<\/p>\n

A meet up with friends at the playground for an hour or two of snow fun? Would you think otherwise?
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bourbon in a honey jar to keep the grown-ups warm? Duh!<\/p>\n

Hot chocolate for seven kids back at the house? You know it.<\/p>\n

Snowcaps<\/a> for the six adults? Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

I used every trick I had. Which would have been great. If we didn’t have another snow day tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Can you see “Netflix Streaming”?<\/p>\n
