Snow Day!

Today is a snow day!  Well, the kids got out at noon and there was a lot of energy around here when we got home.  Dewey’s school emphasis is “creative writing” and he writes a lot of stories at school.  One night for homework our family was asked to write a family story (each of us went around the table and told one sentence at a time to make the story).  So, I decided to write a story during lunchtime today while we watched the snow falling outside.  Here is what we came up with.  You can tell about each child’s personality with their sentences.  And then each person took a picture of our view from my iPhone.  Again, their perspective.  Enjoy!

Louie – One day there was snow coming.

Huey – It was really cold and very chilly.

Dewey – It was wild and stormy and wet and cold at the same time.

Me – We looked out of our breakfast window and saw something moving at the back of the yard.

L – It was under the snowman.

H – It was a tiny polar bear who wanted to find a home that noone could find him because they always bragged at him and yelled at him.

D – Actually it was an Abominable snowman that was tearing up every house.

M – The Abominable snowman was so far away that it looked tiny, but it really was the size of a house.

L – Because of the snow, the polar bears were fighting and everything they had got tooken.

H – Because God took away all of their stuff because they were mean to each other and God said, “If you want to get back your stuff you have to apologize to each other and be nice.”

D – The Aboninable Snowman said, “They are never going to get their stuff back.  I am going to break their boooooonnneeessss.”

M – As we watched, we were all terrified.  What would happen to the tiny polar bears? What would happen to the Abominable Snoman?  Did he really just tell God No?

L – We said, “Go away Snowman!!!!”

H – God said, “If you follow my rules, and don’t brag about the tiny polar bears, then you will be my friends and always follow my rules.”

D – And the Abominable Snowman smushed the big polar bear.

M – We were terrified.  The soft, cottony blanket of snow was just turned into a war zone.

L – And the polar bears were frightened of the snow coming down.  The polar bears were saved.  And it came with Jesus.  He was in charge, but they were OK and Jesus told them to be saved and he got them to not sold their toys and the bad guys were nice and saved and carried their Valentine’s.  And everyday the storm was gone and every sentence was already OK and the people were OK and everyday they were saved and it was fine that they were saved.

H – The polar bears were so happy the bad guys got dead and the polar bears danced around with the family and it was snowing everyday in the Artic.  And no other bad guys or creatures came and they hidded in a safe place where no snow creatures could get them.

D – But, the snow they were dancing on was the Abominable Snowman and he called the army and they brought all of their tanks and guns in and shot the polar bears in the hearts.

(H – Now Mamma – say something nice to end it.  Don’t say something about the Abominable Snowman.  Say something about the polar bears.)

M – What a sad, sad ending to this beautiful snow day.
