Snow Day....Sick Day

Here are some pics of the girls before church Sunday. It seems that for the past 3 weeks we go to church and three days later the kids are sick! I think we are keeping them home this Sunday!

Tuesday, we had a snow day and all the kids were home. It was fun, Christian spent most of his day over at our neighbor's house. Sydnee was sick so we worked on getting her Valentine's ready for all her preschool friends. Ella just chilled with the rest of us. It was a pretty uneventful day.

Today, Christian is home for a sick day. All of my kids have been running a fever this week. I really dislike sicknesses and not because it messes up my day. I actually love having a reason to stay home and get some laundry done. I think I get frustrated because you don't know if it is just a fever, or something worse. Well, here is for a day to stay home. Maybe I will get a moment of scrapbook time....or reading time....or blogging time

P.S. We had a great time at the all day crop last Saturday. There was a guy at the crop and it was awesome! He brought a great mix to the day! Thanks to all those who came! Look for another one in March.

You Take A Picture of Me, I Take A Picture of You

Ella has figured out how to use the camera and she loves to take her own photos. Usually she wants to take a picture of mom or dad, then she wants you to take a picture of her. Then very quickly she will want to look at the photo on the back of the camera. "Let me see! Let me see!"

So here are two photos that she has taken, and one of herself that is just darling. Enjoy!

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

AND THE KIDS ARE GOING CRAZY INSIDE!

Yesterday morning it was -16 while I was working at the scrapbook store for a couple of hours. Today I believe it is even colder....

I have really been trying to keep the kids busy inside with playdough, crafts, and games. But today I think it is going to be a video day. I am finishing up my layouts for NYOBC tomorrow night. Loved the kits this month....just trying to figure out the ladder book. It is just a bit complicated for me.

There isn't anything that I love about the cold weather. It makes you stay inside where the heater runs constantly and you have a dry throat, your cuticles are so dry on your finger nails that they are cracking and bleeding, and the kids are out of their minds! I might just have to bundle them up and give them 10 minutes of run time.....

Well, I better go help Sydnee. She is decorating her room for the dog and cat party that she is having with a friend after preschool today. I wish I had her imagination!
