Our deck in the backyard.
My wishing well up front. (Ignore the Christmas lights, we will get to them eventually.
Well, if it had been snow and the kids would have been occupied outside then we would have taken the day off. But, ice just causes them to have nothing to do inside and so school keeps them busy and engaged. However, there are some pros to homeschooling too. It was very cold today. So the boys were up early and started a fire. I love my fireplace and can sit next to it all day on a cold day like today.
Another advantage of homeschooling is that we can still do school but we can do it in front of the fireplace. Here we are doing writing class in the family room right across from the fireplace. We are all dressed very comfortably and warm. Anything we have to get out for we can do tomorrow.
I am not sure the kids agree with these thoughts, but I have loved sitting in front of the fire doing school.

We no longer have a fire place, but we keep on doing school even when the public school kids (up here) have "too cold to go to school" days. You can normally see my girls wrapped up in afgans on the sofa.
Yeah...I don't quite agree with the whole 'loved doing school part', but the fire was nice! :D

LOL! We spend a good few months of the winter planted in front of our fireplace. In fact, we move 2 extra rocking chairs into the living room during the coldest months.
When it reaches 20 degrees around here we start breaking out the wind breakers and capris (LOL).
