A snow day in Alabama is almost a
holiday. In Alabama, we might have one day a year when we receive actual snow. A snow day on a Tuesday is the best snow day ever. You might wonder how a snow
day means so much to a home-schooled student. I may be a home-schooler but I still take
classes. Tuesdays just so happen to be my least favorite day of the week. I
have to get up and get myself ready, along with having my French Horn, my music, all my math stuff, lunch and my library books and be ready to leave by 8:00. Not
to mention on Tuesdays comes the dreaded math class. Do not get me wrong, I love my teacher. Mrs. Tinker is amazing and the best teacher. The
people in my class are great, too, but math is my least favorite subject and I will not even
mention my grades. As you can see, when I woke up and started to get ready and
my mom told me school was canceled, I literally ran back and hugged my bed.

Meanwhile, my mom had to find snow outfits for eight children who were bursting with impatience. After twenty minutes, all of them had some kind of snow outfit containing boots, gloves, hats and a jacket. I went out before the children to take pictures of this winter wonderland before it would be destroyed. Soon our yard was filled with fourteen children, including three from next door. I love how beautiful snow is, I just wish it could be warm while it snowed. I braved the cold to take pictures so I can say all the pictures in this post are taken by me. I have been waiting all year for snow, so I visited my favorite places on our property. Walking in snow, to me, is exhilarating. I love the feeling of walking through snow in warm boots. I can feel the snow but I can't feel the cold. Meanwhile, a few snow ball fights were started. I do not think my family can have a occasion without some kind of fight.

Then we made snowman.

| Do you wanna build a snowman? |
Then, the best part, we went sledding.
While the kids where busy playing, my sister, Rebekah, was busy making art in the form of an igloo. With the assistance of Jeremy and our neighbor,Alex, they started making progress.

They have not finished it yet, but they are close. As I was saying earlier, I went out before my siblings destroyed the snow. This is what it looks like now
If someone creates something my siblings can not destroy,they should get a prize.
That's all for now, I'm going to go play in the snow.
