What to do?

I'm am very lucky to have a husband that works four days a week, then has a three day weekend! I feel so lucky to have him home so much. He does work long days during the week, but its worth it to have him home. Since we have three days as a family, there is usually a "schedule" we follow. On Fridays I sub at a local school, and we clean the house. That means on Saturdays we can spend time as a family doing whatever we want!!! Sounds great, right?!? It is, except for the fact that we have a hard time thinking of something to do, especially when the weather is bad. That is what happened today.\

When we woke up this morning, there was snow on the ground and it was still coming down pretty hard. We spent the morning trying to decide what to do. We looked into going into Salt Lake City to a museum or the aquarium, but with the cost of gas, the snow, and the cost of admission, we decided against it. After a while of more sitting, we decided to watch Snow White. My daughter is a bit obsessed with Snow White the princess, but she has never seen the movie. After the movie was nap time. Michael and I watched a show and ate lunch while the kids slept. When everyone woke up, we went out and shoveled the snow. Samantha and Michael stayed outside a little longer to play. Now we are headed to Applebee's with a gift card we got for Christmas.

Today I have learned, that sometimes a day home with the family is enough. We all got to do something we enjoyed, we didn't spend any money (except on dinner). Its fun to leave the house and explore what is around us, but it is also fun to stay home and explore what we have with us every day!
