snow day!

so yesterday was supposed to be party day at school....but we woke up to an ice storm and 2 hour delay....then cancelled! after about a half hour of mapboy's tears and complaints, he did decide to make the best of our day home together..... so i made chocolate dipped pretzel rods and they each ate a few....

t
hen we painted some christmas crafts that we are giving as presents...mapboy had a great time mixing colors to find just the right shade...



and princess worked in great detail and enthusiasm for her creations...


as our day drew to a close we all headed to church for about an hour worth of work, ate dinner out, and then on to wal-mart....wal-mart on friday night was INSANE!!!!!!!! but we needed to finish out some gift giving to a local charity and have then have the kids pick out gifts for each other...
it was absolutely beautiful outside - ice coated everything, and i mean everything.....but i love the glisten of it and am thankful we didn't lose our power!
hubby - well, he needed to work and i believe by the end of the day i heard him say, "i'm not sure how i'm going to handle this during the summer!" i don't think he deals well with the day to day noise of children!
