It’s Saturday night, I’m five years old, and I can’t sleep. Why? Because I’m so excited to get to Sunday School tomorrow! Sure, the snacks were tasty and the stories they told were pretty good, too.

I do want to challenge you (and myself) to plan something fun for your snow day: if kids get to have fun and forget about the stresses of school, so should you!
