Snow Day Number 5 ... I think

We had another snow day today except this one was a bit different from the others this year.  It actually snowed!  It didn't snow as much as they originally thought, although it's still snowing.  But it did snow.  Unfortunately the wind also blew making it bitterly cold!  Both D and S have stuffy noses so we stayed inside.  What do you do on a snow day?  Here's a bit of what we did ...
Snow first starting around 11:00.

A picnic lunch while we watched a Tinkerbell movie.

Snack after nap.

Marshmallow Painting ... yes, marshmallows!




Snow on the deck about 4:30.

School and swimming were cancelled today.  School is closed tomorrow and the temperature is supposed to be frigid with wind again.  It's still snowing so we'll see how much we end up with over night.  We're going to try and go outside for a few minutes tomorrow but I'm not sure we'll make it.  I've had enough winter and am ready for warm weather!!

Great Country Farm

Image
Today to celebrate Spring Break we ventured to Great Country Farm.  We went last year at Spring Break also.  The kids had so much fun, when I asked what they wanted to do this year the first thing they said was "Great Country Farm!"  So we packed up the van with kids and grandparents and off we went. Just like last year, the kids had a blast playing on the slides and bouncy pillow.  Like last year I went down a few slides too.  Unlike last year I paid attention to the "12 and under" sign and stayed off of the bouncy pillow!  The kids also fed some goats, bounced on pigs, climbed on a bunch of wooden obstacles, and tried out the rope swing. And of course, no trip is complete without a little gem hunting! Last, but not least the kids rode the cow train.  S was till upset we didn't do this last year.  He definitely enjoyed the ride more than D!

Happy Easter

Image
I hope you and your family had a wonderful, happy Easter!  Ours sure did!!!!   We started the fun on Saturday evening by decorating Easter eggs.  We managed to spill 0 cups of egg dye and I only cracked 3 eggs while boiling them.  As you can see, egg dying is a serious and thought provoking experience in our house. The Easter Bunny left baskets on the table and hid eggs downstairs for the kids on Easter morning.  The baskets had an art book, a book to read, Mad Libs, Tsum Tsums, one small toy, and some chocolate.  We spent the afternoon with family having another egg hunt and dinner.  It was a great way to spend a warm, Easter Sunday!

Here Come the Police!

Like most little boys, S is obsessed with anything that moves, makes noise, and has buttons.  I guess that's why one of his favorite toys right now is a remote control police car he got from my parents.  He drives around, where he wants it to go.  Although he does point the control backwards most of the time so when he pushes the reverse arrow it actually goes forward.  When it drives it makes siren noises.  Plus it has buttons on the car and the remote to push.  What more could a three year old boy want from a toy?!?!?
