When school is cancelled.

Here in Texas we don't normally have to close school due to weather but when we do the northerners think that we are crazy. We get a inch of ice everywhere the whole metroplex shuts down. When this is the case I then become trapped at home with the kids. What to do with the time? It's not like ice is any fun to play on or throw around. So now the kids will go stir crazy and I can't just send them to the back yard. looks like movie day for us or just maybe a Firefly marathon with a nice fire to combat the cold.
