NEOTA Day – McKee Style

Today is NEOTA day. Honestly, I’m not sure what that means or why it constitutes a day off when school’s only been back in session forĀ 7 weeks or so. What I do know is that my kids are home for the day.

It’s also Rick’s day off so that makes for fun times at the McKee home.

The only bummer is that it’s cold and rainy so our pumpkin patch plans are a scratch. Undaunted, we have regrouped to the classic way every kid knows is best for free days indoors: building a fort.

They have collected blankets and pillows from every bed in the house. They have raided Caleb’s closet (otherwise known as “the armory”). They have smuggled rations. And, they are now ready to defend the house against The Giant Troll Butt. (That would be Rick.)

NEOTA Day, I don’t know why you exist but thanks for giving us a fun day at home together…

Did I mention that it’s almost Noon and they’re still in their pjs? A toast to St. NEOTA…
