Snowdays 2011

Grace the scissor star!

Jennifer has learned: When Mommy has the camera, you smile.

Hopefully we will be doing this is shorts again soon!

Thursday is laundry day in this house (My OCD) playing with the laundry baskets is always a favorite in this house, sometimes its a train, or a boat, or a race car, or a hair styler!

Cuddle time!

The weather man said we were going to get a MAJOR storm over the week, well I didn't think it was bad at all, and then I realized he meant IN my house we were going to have a major storm!

Lets see what happened this week?!?!? Its more like what didn't happen :) Daddy has been in Brighton for some work classes all week, he is up and gone before we even think about getting up for the day, then he is home just in time to read books and tuck-in for bedtime. The girls know that daddy is working this week, but everyday they have asked me when he will be home and my answer is always "soon"!

Over the weekend we went sledding with the Braun's, that was fun, and Grace had issues when it came time to leave, she was not happy about it! Jennifer has decided that she HATES snow, that is soooo my girl! Grandpa Mike came over one day to watch the girls so I could take my Grandma (Gammie) to a doctor's appointment, OMG, my Gammie is 90 years old and she is awesome! The best part of taking her to her appointment was I got to see her cover her mouth with her hand and then she giggled like a 6 year old, I laughed so hard with her, it was the cutest thing I had seen in a long time!!!

Then the snow came, or some of it anyway.......it was supposed to be a big giant blizzard and it was really not a big deal at all, but I guess I would rather be over prepared then not at all :) Two days of no school, means we have school in the house!! Grace practiced her scissor skills, she did awesome cutting out all kinds of shapes by cutting on the lines, and Jenni learned to put her shapes in the right holes on her shape box. (My life is so exciting, I know!) We made an attempt to go outside with all the snow, Grace the snow bunny loved it, again Jennifer, not so much! Here are more pictures from this week.

The hardest part of my week, the girls have learned to tag team me with the word NO. Holy Hell that word just pisses me off! "Grace, go pick up your books from off the floor" "NO". "Jenni, you have had enough juice for the day, you need to drink milk" "NO". So I am learning to fight back, "If you don't pick up your books, I will pick them up for you and throw them in the garbage." Oh, that works like a charm, for now. As for the continued fighting over toys, well I am still working that one out!
