2013 Blue Jeans Week 8

So we are finally getting some winter weather here.  We got snow this past week, enough for them to cancel school two days.  The kids were really excited.  We are expecting more snow this week, so we will see how it turns out.  Here is a look at our week. . .

Sunday:  Mr J is a great reader, but he has been extremely reluctant to start chapter books because picture books are way more fun.  We finally found a series he likes and will read The Dragon Slayers Academy by Kate McMullan.  Sunday afternoon I enjoyed listening to him read.  

Piano lessons night, the kids wait their turns for their lessons and try and figure out a new game on the tablet.  

Snow day!  Went sledding today.

Another snow day, and Mr J enjoys making tracks in the snow.

Got together with some friends for some more sledding.  Most of these kids have been friends since they were born.  Great to spend some time with them!

The girls enjoy a relaxing evening, and Miss A does Miss E's nails while she reads Where's Waldo :)  Can you think of a better way to spend an evening?

Some dear friends of ours moved away this weekend.  We had them over for a good-bye party.  We will miss them!

Thanks for visiting.  How was your week?  Did you get snow?  Have a great week!

I am linking up with The Mom Creative and Kleinworth Co.

Snow Days

We had a snow day yesterday and today and got our first real snow of the whole winter.  The kids were very excited.  They may not be as excited in May when they add on the two days of school they missed, but we won't talk about that now.  

Yesterday we went sledding with some friends.

These were the sleds I bought two years ago that haven't been used since I bought them because we have just not had any snow since then.  The kids were excited to finally use them.

Whee!

Tag team sledding is always fun.

And today the sun came out, and it is so beautiful.

So fun to walk around in the snow and make tracks.  More sledding this afternoon!  Whee!  We will enjoy the snow while we have it.  

Have a great weekend!

Snow Happy

We finally got some snow!!!!  My kids were beyond excited!!!

Made some snow friends,

And this little guy asked if he could wear his complete snowsuit, boots, hat and gloves to school the day it was snowing.  When I said, "No, I think you won't have recess outside today,"  then he insisted that he needed to stay home from school to play in the snow.  Um no, sorry.  He was not in the least disappointed when the next day school was canceled because of the snow.  One Snow Happy kiddo!

Did some snow surfing.  

And built some snow forts.  Sadly, this snow is almost gone, but we are expecting more tomorrow--that was the first thing the kids told me when they got home from school today.  "Mom!!  Mom!  Did you know we are supposed to get SNOW tomorrow??"  Yes, we are snow happy here :)
