Stay at Home Day: The Perfect Snow 2014

The East coast has been pounded with snow storms the past few months, but here in Olympia we've seen very few snow flakes.  Except for one Saturday night it starting dumping.  It snowed and snowed all night long.  That Sunday morning, we woke to the most perfect snow.  I barely got a snack in the girls and we were trying to hunt down all our snow gear to head outside.

When we got outside, we quickly started working on a snowman.  We even had some neighbor friends come over to play in the snow too.

Brooke and Kaleb are little buddies and any chance they can get to hang out is the best day in the world in their eyes.   They had so much fun playing on the sled together.

Brooke only fell a couple of times.  Good thing she's close to the ground and has extra padding on today!

We soon realized all the neighborhood kids were at our neighborhood retention pond.  Don't worry, it's dry!  The hills are perfect for our little ones.  Seriously, check out the smiles on these kids' face!

Morgan quickly found her friends and ditched us to hang out with the big girls.  Guess that's the way it goes sometimes.

Here's a picture of Brooke making a snow angel.  Our little friend Riley was supervising to make sure she did it correctly.

Some of the things that made this day so perfect.  1) It was on a Sunday; 2) Casey wasn't on shift; 3) The snow was fluffy and LOTS of it; 4) Pancakes tastes so much better when you've earned them; 5) We had absolutely no place to be except home; and 5) the snow was gone before my Monday morning commute.  Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to have the snow stick around but all the stars aligned on our snow day to make it the most perfect day!

September 2 - Let's Paint

Just a little randomness from a "stay at home" day.

We are all set up and ready to PAINT!!!

Morgan takes a more serious approach.  She has a plan...

Brooke is making people these days.  She loves drawing pictures of her daddy.

I looked down and she had her ankles crossed.  Too Cute!

It was inevitable her hands would be covered with paint.  Next stop, bath tub.  But not until we make our hands make that squishy sound some more.

Whoa! Scary hands and scary face!  Fun Times!!!
