Snow day #1

The kids were thrilled yesterday to get their first snow day of the year.  They would have preferred another today,  but I was thrilled with just a 2 hour delay.  Sorry,  but my living room got way too messy yesterday while they watched a little bit too much TV.  Sadly I had planned to spend the whole day sewing a curtain order.

Congratulations go to Emily for being an awesome snow shoveler!  I finished the job after she left for school.  I adore our giant yellow snow shovel,  but it is still a decent workout! Especially at the bottom of the drive.  Ugh.  That stuff has got to be double if not triple the weight of everything else!

I had a moment of pure brilliance driving home from the dr with Sydney. We stopped at the grocery store and I asked her what sorts of fun things we needed to get so lunches were not a giant complaint filled suck fest,  and she pointed out Lunchables (which I loathe cause they are icky).  So I was able to convince her to grab pepperoni and cheese and a bag of premixed dough along with some other fun yummy items to make our own. We went home, divided up the dough into 18 little rounds and baked them.  After we did bedtime I grabbed the kids quickly and asked who was buying lunch,  Josh wanted to buy until he saw the awesomeness of Sydney's lunch! 

Pizza, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni and inside a handy reusable container. She gleefully got her lunch ready!  Yeah for making my morning a tiny bit better tomorrow.  Now to finish the laundry so we have her favorite outfit! We didn't get her hair brushed so it will probably be exciting in the morning.

Good times!
