Snow Days

Meghan has been anxious for some snow and we were finally granted a little this week... Well enough to cancel school for two days, but not quite enough for a snowman.




It all ended up in a yucky mushy wet mess yesterday, but Tuesday was a fabulous snowfall and the kids enjoyed playing in it in the afternoon. After I shoveled the driveway I put the kids on the sled down a gradual slope and they had a blast. Nathan was even content to let Meghan hold him on the sled as long as they got to keep going more more more. More that is until he got too cold and it started to get dark. All in all it was a successful and fun snowfall.

The Blahs of January... Pudding Painting

Well,
The decorations are all put away, the cold weather is here, and the afternoons are long with only one napper. What's a mom to do? Bring out the Pudding! That's right, you heard me... We recently made pudding, and then added a little food coloring... pink, green, blue, etc. Then we brought out the left over cookie sprinkles, and some cereal, whatever looked interesting and I let the kids go at it. Boy did they ever have fun, and all it took was a little extra Oxy-clean to clean up the kitchen afterwards... Also, take note of Meghan's ever present dress-up attire under the apron. These days, she's either Tinkerbell or a princess whenever she gets the chance. Nathan likes to wear the crowns too.
