Snow Day

Monday, the boys and I had an unexpected day at home together thanks to the snow. Brody requested oatmeal raisin cookies, wish granted. We finished baking those just in time to feed Kurt, Grampy and Davestorm after they cleared snow. We ventured out into the snow briefly, but short stuff Riley could barely manage in his snow pants and Brody got stuck in a drift and had to be pulled out by super hero Davestorm. We picnicked on the living room floor and watched a cartoon...big deal because we do not typically eat anywhere but a table and never watch tv when we are eating. 

I like pristine snow.  Once they started plowing the drive and our footprints littered the yard, I was ready for it to melt away!

Some serious painting!

Brody-ody painted water and soil, I believe.  I remember there were sharks in the water that ate fish.

They chose to take a rest together in Riley’s bed.  Brody was just going to close his eyes for a minute.   He skipped naps all weekend so I believe he was officially worn out.  I accomplished so much while they rested.  I am positive that before we had kids I was horribly unproductive with free time.  Now it’s a self-imposed challenge to see just how much I can accomplish in a small amount of time.   It was a jam-packed day and by bed time everyone was worn out and ready to rest.   And that is what I call a success.
