Fun on a Snow Day

Fun on a Snow Day
Photo-A-Day #3953

Allison and Eva had a Snow Day today. So we had a nice unexpected family day. Starting off with sleeping late. We’ve finally gotten things set up so that Andrew sleeps a little later. Eva is zonked out asleep and we’ll have to start waking her up all the time now. She likes her sleep. The snow day was called to us last night so we knew that we didn’t have to get up and get going. Play Group would be cancelled and we could enjoy being home as a family. Allison made us a nice big breakfast that we thoroughly enjoyed.

After breakfast I finished coloring a picture of Iron Man while Eva created some characters and also colored a picture of Black Widow. Then Eva and I recorded our video for the Elements of Courage figures. Eva had a lot of fun doing that.

We finished up our video and then we went out into the snow. First we made a snowman together and then I cleaned up around the yard. The snow was really, really wet and I figure it will be a long while before my gloves are dry. I did both of the yards which included our neighbor’s two driveways and then all around the sidewalks.

So, I made a mistake that made Andrew very upset. On Thursday we took home a worksheet that he did at school where he colored in triangles. Normally we go over Eva’s papers from school and we save some exceptional things and then recycle the rest. Well, I recycled Andrew’s worksheet and he found it in the recycling bin. He brought it in to Allison all upset. I came in and she told me what had happened. Then Andrew came in crying asking me why I put it in the recycling bin. He was so upset. So, I flattened it out and let it dry. Once it was dry I told him we’d save it and asked if he’d forgive me. He’s sweet and so he did. I’ll have to ask him before I recycle anything else.
