Today is a snow day! My favorite thing to do on a snow day from school is to build a snowman with our dad because it is so much fun. First, Theo and I would roll a small snowball from the head, Owen would roll a medium-sized snowball for the body, and our dad would roll a big snowball for the lower part of the body. Next, out dad would lift the snowballs and put them on top of each other. We would ask our mom for a carrot, get some rocks from our driveway, and ask our dad for his hat. We would turn them into the snowman’s face. We would push the rocks in real hard, so that they wouldn’t fall out. Then, we would ask our mom for a scarf. We would wrap it around our snowman. Then, we would get some more rocks for the buttons. Finally, we would name it. This is my favorite thing to do on a snow day from school.

My favorite thing to do on a snowy day is to make a snow fort. I used to go to the creek with my friend and get big icicles, but now I moved and I don’t see her. I can visit her, but I don’t know if I will. I would go inside once I’m done playing in the snow and would probably ask for a hot chocolate.

My favorite thing to do on a snow day is to go outside with my dad and build snow forts. We pretend we are two castles fighting each other. Another thing I like to do is making snow angels. Sometimes I don’t go outside and stay inside and have hot chocolate and watch a Christmas movie. The reason I like to do these things because I make time with my family and I find all of this very fun.

My favorite thing to do on a snowy day is to go sledding with all the neighborhood kids and then making snow tunnels at my house with some kids. When we are all cold we go inside and my Mom makes homemade hot coco. After all the neighborhood kids go home my brother and I cuddle up in the living room with the Christmas tree lights on and start watching Christmas Cronicles.

Hooray a snow day! It’s a beautiful morning. I wake up. Good morning mom! Good morning dad! Look it’s a snow day! No school! No school! I get my hat, gloves, and my warmer jacket. If there was a snow day I would… have a snowball war, have hot chocolate, build a snowman, build an igloo, and make snow angels.

I heard the snow plow drive by my house. I jumped out of my bed and saw we had a snow day! It’s going to be the best day ever! First, I jumped out of bed and went to my little brother to wake him up. Then we went to go in to the basement to wake my other brother up. We go jump on my mom and dad. Second we go downstairs and we make breakfast. Third we go play in the snow. Fourth we are done!

I head the snow plow drive by my house. I jumped out of bed and saw we had a SNOW DAY! It’s going to be the best day ever! First I like to watch movies with my grandparents. And I like to ride my hoverboard around the house and my dog chases me. Then I like to get hot chocolate with my grandma/mom. Then I jump on my bed maybe for like an hour because I am so excited because it is a snow day. Then jump on my grandparents because they sleep in sometimes but sometimes they are up before me. Then I will eat some food before I go play in the snow. I hope you liked my little story.

Oh no, it’s a snow day! At least no school. (victory dance) Time to go outside. After I get gloves, my hat, and a coat and boom! I’m outside for 20 miinutes. Then I go back inside and put on Garfield show and make some hot chocolate. And then its 8:00 and basically I finish Garfield and I put my gloves on and all that stuff to go outside. One last beele flop. And then I just spend the rest of the night finding something else. Happy snow day everyone.
