MAKING SNOWFLAKES AND MUSIC VIDEOS

After Zoe and her family left for home it was time for bath, dinner and a bit of homework thinking we still had school tomorrow. When we got the call for no school tomorrow tomorrow due to bad road conditions, you should have seen Mimi whoop it up yelling "I knew it!!! Woo Hoo!!!"

Dad says that he plans on staying home tomorrow since he left work early (4:30) and did not get home till 8:00 this evening. He says that there a couple of accidents and everyone was driving 30mph all the way from Everett (about 90 miles from our house).

After the homework was done, Mimi kept herslf busy with making snowflakes and music videos. She thinks that dad and I know nothing about making the snowflakes therefore she had to give a demonstration. I had no idea that she was making a music video but that's what happens when I leave it where she can find it.

AFTER SCHOOL WINTER FUN

Although technically it is still Fall season, it feels and looks like Winter to us. Still conference time for the kiddos so this time I babysat for Shelley. Of course dad had cleannes out the garage this past weekend so that he could park his car in the garage. Getting the sleds out was something else as I only have the use of one hand. But I did it!

After sliding down the driveway tired them out, they all came in to warm up. Hot cocoa and graham crackers all around. Even Butch went out for some fun, but it was not long before he was in front of the fireplace again.

The snow stopped long enough for the kids to play outside before it started coming down in droves again. No gymnastics tonight. Poor dad, he has to drive a long ways home in this snowy weather.

WINTER WONDERLAND

Stockings? Check. Long johns? Check. Long sleeve shirt followed by
favorite short sleeve shirt? Check. Beannie, snow boots, snow jacket?
Check, check, check.

I know you can't really tell from the picture but it is coming down in
droves this very minute.

Although the doc said it is ok to drive short distances, I'm not sure
if I want to chance it in this condition.
