The snow day

So exciting!

Brennan, "Mom, I'm frozen stiff!"

Yummy!

I don't know why Macy added the safety goggles...but hey, why not!

Well, we got our one snow day for the year!  The kids got to stay home and play, play, play.  There wasn't quite as much snow as last year, not enough for a snow man, but enough for a little snow ball fight.  In the morning we got the kids all bundled up and let them play in the snow on the deck while we sat nice and toasty warm...in the hot tub! :) (I think that is only the 3rd time I have been in that thing in the 3 years we have been here!) Ahhh...that was nice.  After the fun of the 1/8" of snow wore off (20 minutes) we spent the rest of the day making cookies and Valentines.  We had a new cookie making adventure.  I got all of the ingredients for Maddie to make regular chocolate chip cookies and also everything we needed for Brennan to make dairy and soy free chocolate chip cookies!  It was more of a success than I ever imagined.  They worked side by side...doing the same steps, but no fighting over who gets to put the scoop of flour in!  It was great- and the dairy/soy cookies were...amazing!  So much so that I had to pop them in the freezer asap!
The only bad part of the day...by late afternoon I was out of ideas and I was letting Brennan play with my camera...I think he took about 20 videos of his toes.  Then, a few days later when I went to Maddie's school to video the first graders reciting 1 Corinthians 13 to the entire school...I discovered my camera battery was dead.  So sad.  Maybe I can find someone who videoed it and get a copy- it was so precious, I cried!
