Snow Days

It was like a week's staycation, only not. After sled riding and hot chocolate on the first snow day, we did manage to have some fun and stay sane through a weekend and two more days off from school.

Playing Games

I spared you the photos of me playing Twister with the girls. Here's Clint and Evie playing a vertical Scooby-Doo version of Don't Break The Ice, while Chief gives me the chicken eye. I think he's hungry.

Dancing Fun

And what better way to dance and twirl to a concerto than in a princess dress with Daddy.

Pickle watches the show.

And speaking of shows, the girls watched an old, non-Disney version of Peter Pan, and were in love. It was eye opening when they saw Tinker Bell was jealous of Wendy, and a shock when Tink had the Lost Boys shoot down the "Wendy Bird" from the sky. It's enlightening for them to see that even characters who are supposed to be good or heroines can make bad choices.

Painting Fun

Playing Barbies

While Pickle naps.

Creating an African Savannah Diorama

I know that pigs and Polly dolls are not a natural part of the African Savannah, but it's their world, after all. Maisey loved this project for school, so she decided to do her own. It has an owl in the toilet paper tree. He's pretty cool, but very heavy.

I know I'll blink and these days will be long gone, so I'm cherishing the snow days now. I think I could have played more if we just had Lucky Charms for dinner instead of "real food." Maybe someday.
