Snow Day

The kids got a snow day yesterday.  We got the call on Thursday evening letting us know that due to the snow warning school was cancelled.  PARTY TIME!  This is what we got throughout the day Friday and into the night and early morning hours of Sunday.  Zachary liked that there is a layer of snow then ice so you never know when your feet will cave through the ice and sink into the snow.

Our home

Zachary and the neighbor kids having fun in the snow.

Boys and toy guns.  What can I say?

Our back yard.  By the way, Brinkley hates the snow.

After time out in the snow, freezing, we came in to the nice warm fire.  We are snowed in.  All of the roads are iced over and most everything is closed so we have no where to go.  Even church is cancelled tomorrow.  Guess we just get to hang out together and relax.

Sometimes You Need A Little Sunshine

Over the Holiday's I had the chance to babysit Raven and Tessa so their parents could go to the temple with mom and dad. I was so excited for them to come. I popped popcorn so we could watch a movie in the theater. We cuddled up in our quilts and watched Cinderella 2. Not the best movie, but we were in the theater and we had it all to ourselves, so we still had loads of fun. Afterwards, we had lunch and the girls colored pictures. Raven wondered why I didn't have any pictures on my fridge. I told her that my kids didn't color pictures anymore for me to put on the fridge. She thought I needed one, so she made me a picture of a duck in the sunshine. I know you can't see the duck but, she drew it, and colored it, and cut it out, and glue it in the perfect place on the picture. But we weren't finished yet...

I didn't have any coloring books, but luckily I found Disney Princess pictures we could print and color. They got to take those home of course.

I had such fun with Raven and Tessa. Every time I walk past the fridge and see the picture, I smile and think of that fun day. Thanks for making my day Raven.
