Baby it's cold outside

After playing in the snow all morning, the restlessness set in by afternoon. We broke out the paints and created some masterpieces!

Sledding

So I convinced the kids to drive up the the school park and sled for a little bit, they haven't wanted to any other of the snows, but now I think I've created some sledders! First trip down, Aidan is so sweet and helpful, he put the kiddos on and watched them go down!LOVE THIS!Quinn lasted 2 or 3 trips, then the sled tipped over, so she went and hung in the warm van and watched tv....smart girl!I hung out there in between trips too, because of this!!!!! 10 degrees? Are you kidding me? But see that 59 down there? I like that!
The boys didn't care, they were having a blast!
And again!They kept going until their cheeks were red and their noses running. We went home and warmed up with hot chocolate!

Snow day number 581

Ok, maybe an exaggeration, but it feels like it! I really LOVE seeing the snow outside, just wish it could be snowing and 70 degrees....It snowed all afternoon and evening and we got a beautiful covering. I tried to drive to work at 5:30 and saw a couple of accidents and stuck cars, so I turned around and came home to snuggle and watch movies. We got the call early that there would be no school Thursday! Woohoo! A fun day at home with the kiddos.I think it was 7:45 and they were dressed and ready to go!Quinn was the first out the door and immediately making snow balls!Snow angel.....in reverse! Talk about coldDon't let that sweet smile fool you, she was making a snow ball to throw at me. Canon had just declared kids vs. grown ups (I was the only grown up!!!!!)

I'll take an extra day home with all my kiddos any day, the only thing we were missing was Daddy!

PTA Night

Aidan's 3rd grade class performed at the PTA meeting the other night. We had a blast watching him!He is in the first row all the way to the left

Free Ben and Jerry's!

Cards and kisses

You may remember this idea from last year, but I loved it so much (and we go to a different school) so we re-used it!Aidan and I found these, so we stuffed them with m & m's and a stickerAnd for teachers gifts we made oreo truffles, shaped them into hershey's kisses, wrapped them in aluminum foil and added a tag (another Bakerella idea....love her!)Quinn was my taste tester!

Want a little cake with that frosting?

Gigi's cupcakes are always a treat.....I got the kiddos an early Valentine sweet, I think they enjoyed it.

Aidan's cupcake waiting for him when he got home from schoolCanon couldn't wait on Aidan.....he didn't want to get his hands dirty, he said!
Quinn is just like her momma, chocolate makes her smile!
She didn't mind getting her hands (or face) dirty.

YUMMY!
