This week they called for massive amounts of snow. We ended up getting about a foot mid week and then we got another couple of inches yesterday. I had trouble convincing A to go out and play, but we did have fun once we got outside. These are pictures of our fort and snowman.
Since we got a lot of snow the hats were rather appropriate. A wants to build a snowman but the snow may be the wrong kind since it is so cold. They cancelled school for the kids so I'm working from home.
School for Chris is also closed, so we get to hopefully be showed in. We have 2 of our forecasted 24 inches, so we probably won't get our prediction. It was enough to cause mass panic though.
Girls get dragons. Boys get kitties. Guess who said that? While we love the princess books we got for Christmas, we find what is taken away a lot of fun. It is better than always having a ball and dancing with an unnamed prince.
We went to a birthday party this afternoon and it was a blast. G slept through most of it while A tried to steal the show. The birthday girl and A regularly get each other in trouble running around church. They are rather good friends though I couldn't get them to stay still long enough to get a picture.
This week was full of fun as I went back to work full time. I really wish they had someone do my work while I was gone, but I had three months worth of work to do, plus dealing with the current crises.
Anyway sugar highs from the party are wearing off so hoping for a nap.
Today Chris got a weather delay for starting class. We asked A if she wanted to build a snowman because it came down at a temperature that might have been possible. She responded with the rest of the verse from the Frozen song. After breakfast, while G took a nap we went outside and tried to build a snowman not realising that the temp had dropped so low it was changing the structure of the ice. Chris and A managed a little snowman. After getting warm they built a Lego city. Here are the fun pictures of our snowman and the Lego city.
Probably the only age that sleeping through church is appropriate. We play with him at home before venturing out, and sleeping through at least the singing part of a service. At church as he sits beside me comments are made about how good of a baby G is.
This past week has gone by quickly. The two month check-up and a couple of trips to work will do that I suppose. Since I'm in the glider with G sleeping peacefully on my lap I thought I'd use the time to post a little. G normally sleeps soundly in his own bed in his own room, but has been a bit cold it seems he gets up. Since we've got a few inches of snow on the ground it is a bit cooler inside than normal. A was sweet and brought us her quilt, and I could put him down, but I've decided to cuddle since he won't fit like this much longer.
Chris and A are off playing with the Legos that she got for Christmas. She wanted to combine them so the few hundred she has all go in one bin these days. We were concerned that she might decide to keep the three containers separate, but the first time we got them all out together so she could build a huge tower she decided they all belonged in the same box.
A is slowly getting used to G, but days like today she shows she is only two. She is trying me less and less, but keeps trying Chris, especially on the weekend. I think it is because he goes to work each day and A has to listen to me while he is gone. Chris has been able to come home for lunch this week so hopefully he can the next two weeks as well before I go back to work full time. A actually went to work with Chris this week, she packed her bad and everything. She put a water bottle, a piece of fruit, a game and a book in the bag before going to work with him. It was check-in week so Chris was able to stay close for the hour or so she was there. Hopefully Monday nights will go smoothly as those are his late nights again.
We think we really need Chris to find another job because the fall term is promising to have four night classes a week. Our lease is up the end of July so it would be a great time to move if we need to. We are looking for other places here as well since our rental company has proven themselves inept in more than one way.
That basically sums up life here right now. Hope everyone is staying warm.
