[QUOTE="Andy, post: 325167, member: 5096"] Do you have the entire Harry Potter DVD collection? If there is a snow day tomorrow, I would take one of the smaller rooms with a tv and DVD and pronounce it Harry Potter Day for him. Set up the room as comfy as possible - make sure he has plenty of healthy snacks. Whatever you make for lunch announce that it is __________ (a terminology from Harry Potter) (like Hagrad stew). Do you know enough about the story to make as many references as possible to everything? (Hot chocolate can be the drink they refer to) Or you can make a movie festival of Christmas movies or any series of shows he likes (Star Wars?). Hopefully that would keep him out of easy child's hair for the day. Once he is settled in, find something to do with easy child. Does she like to cook? Christmas goodies? Plan the Christmas or Christmas eve meal? Even if you do the same thing year after year, she can make the list. Make decorations for the table? If you work beside her, it would make a special time for her. In other words, if there is a snow day, hopefully you can find a way to divide and conquer. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
