What to Do During a Snowstorm

We are getting snow today like our region has not seen in a long time. The forecast I read this morning suggested this may end up being the most we've seen in a decade (my "school closure" Spidey-sense is tingling). Not an outdoor day. As you can imagine, the Spills is deeply stir-crazy. Here is a smattering of the last 5 hours or so.

The Most Recent 10 Questions:

The most recent activity:
Going online to find a recipe for ice cream snow. Found one. It goes like this:

Ingredients:
Large bowl of snow
1/2 to 1 cup of milk (we used lactose-free so Daddy could have some)
1/2 to 1 cup of sugar (you could probably use Splenda)
some vanilla

Method:
Send Daddy outside in the blizzard to get a bowl full of snow. Pour in the milk and mix till the snow gets an ice-cream consistency (it actually will!!). Add sugar and vanilla. Stir it like crazy (try not to get it all over the floor). Put it in some bowls. Eat it.

The most boring activity:
"Helping" Mommy with the dusting. Mostly this consisted of wandering around with a Swiffer cloth, saying, "Ohhhh, are we done yet? Mommy, are you finished?" In the process of dusting, she discovered:
-her chapstick, which needed to be opened and smeared
-ten dollars, which she tried to use to "buy" things from Mommy (mostly standing in Mommy's way, waving the ten dollars around)
-the flag of Macedonia (no, we are not from Macedonia)
-a bag of Christmas bows, which is now spread throughout the house
-sticky notes (they are stuck everywhere now)
-a whole pile of cool office gizmos on Daddy's computer desk
-Smurfs, lots of them

The best part: she is already starting the anti-nap campaigning.
