Snow Days 4 & 5!

Well, the storm of the decade turned out to not be all that awful, but it has kept us home for two days so far! We got 1/2 of ice, and then about a foot of snow. Mike stayed home with us the first day, but he's already gone in to work today. We have done lots of fun things while we've been trapped here in our home. We have: made peppermint chocolate suckers, made melted crayon shavings art, organized our games/puzzles, made ice sun catchers, eaten chili in a bread bowl and chicken and dumplings (awesome cold weather foods), and read lots of books!

I've been feeding Reagan bananas covered in rice crispies in the morning and by the time she's finished, she is covered in rice crispies and it's really cute! We say she has a rice crispy beard or mustache, depending on where they stick.
The girls biggest complaint about playing in the snow is getting snow in their sleeves, so I got smart and duct taped their gloves to their coat sleeves. It worked wonderfully! They had fun tromping around in the snow while Mike shoveled the driveway.
