Part 2

Wednesday Update

Snow Days

Arctic storm '08 continues. We finally escaped our house today for a few hours. All of us have been house bound since Saturday night. Today we braved the icy neighborhood streets and headed for Target. We bought the kids long underwear and winter boots....they have never had either. We even went out for lunch because none of us could stand another lunch made by me in our kitchen. Tomorrow is round two of the storm and school is already canceled.




We have had lots of rosy cheeks


What things have been looking like around here....kids in blankets playing their Nintendo DS's




Testing out the new boots

Crafting

Max & Emily made me a Christmas tree out of Max's hands






Morgan & I are making trees out of magazines...fun way to recycle all the Christmas catalogs

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......

The view out my bedroom window at 9am....the kids are thrilled!

Mother Daughter Brunch

The girls and I hosted a Holiday brunch for 6 of their girlfriends from school and their moms. The girls sat at the dining room table with candlelight and the fancy china. The moms ate in the kitchen with the everyday dishes! We feel fortunate to have such wonderful friends.
