Around Here

Last Friday it snowed a little and there hasn't been school or work(for me) until today... It was a bit crazy. We were pretty much homebound because snow doesn't get cleaned off roads here and then it freezes. We pretty much were in the house except for a few escapes.. We did really well cooped up together. It wasn't until Wednesday that the cabin fever really set in. Nice to be back to life as usual. 

 The eldest decided she was going to write a letter to santa this year..after watching Polar Express... didn't I call it?! 

 Little crazies by the tree. If you look under it you may see some of Fieldin's presents he has wrapped to give to  us. He has been a very busy wrapper lately. He picks up things around the house and wraps them as gifts.. he had a little wrapping area set up. I made sure he wasn't wrapping food.. and Greta was upset when she thought he wrapped one of her books.. but luckily he hasn't wrapped anything we need... I did notice one of the packages is shaped like his lightsaber.. I am hoping that he's giving that one to me :) 

 While we hung around the house for seven days, we got quite a few art projects done and some holiday baking. We made some peppermint bark yesterday... and no the cat isn't supposed to be on the counter..he always has to be where the action is. 

 My nice neighbor took us out one day to hear Santa read a story (above) That's Fieldy on Gret's lap. The kids also got to see Frosty..

 Turns out the roads were better out of town so yesterday we went up to Salem to play on the carousel and watch them carve and paint new pieces.. then we had lunch and did some shopping. It was good for all of us to get out of town for a bit.. 

So now on to the weekend and ALOT of catch up from the last week to do. 

I've learned not to want a snow day around here anymore.. :)
