But today, I’m talking about my kids. And how many days INAFREAKINGROW they have been out of school due to the ice/snow storm we [...]

You might remember that last year’s big fourth grade project at my kids school was the re-enactment of the Oklahoma Land Run. Costumes, wagons, cardboard houses, vittles, land surveys, and an actual “RUSH” to claim land ….. ahhhh, good times.
