Ok, I have had enough of snow / ice / early dismissals / no school days for the year!! Tuesday Eli's school closed an hour early with no after school activities so I had to hustle and pick him up. We then picked up Cole so we'd all be home safe and sound (a few years ago, lots of students and teachers got stranded at school and a lot of people had trouble getting home on the roads). Once I picked Cole up, wintry precipitation started coming down so I called Tim and told him he should head home. In less than 2 hours, our front yard was completely white. It was crazy!
Schools were closed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! My work was completely closed Wednesday and Thursday so we got to all hang out. We ventured outside some to walk around the neighborhood and play a bit. Thank goodness we stocked up on peeler beads because we made a lot of things being inside so much! The boys decided to sell their creations for $1 each and they plan to make a million dollars. I sure hope they do!!
The weekend was fun - Saturday was the Pinewood Derby. That deserved its' own post! Sunday we went to Church and had fun family time that included the Y and swimming. This week was really 1-1/2 work days and then an extended weekend!
It went from this....
to this in under 2 hours!
Perler bead time
When we originally got peeler beads, Eli wanted to get Cole the biggie beads so he could create too. Love it!
We printed some patterns and this was Mommy's challenge.
Perler Buzz Lightyear!!
Snow-family
You can see Cole's little mind working in this picture
He just HAD to turn and show his bottom - BOYS!
It was really coming down!
Playing on the power line
Our biker dude is cold - icicle from his chin!
This was scary - after we walked out of the back yard, a huge branch fell on the picnic table. Thank goodness we were out of there!
Cole's biggie peeler bead creations
Valentine's Day - It was so nice to be home on Friday and celebrate Valentine's Day in a lazy way. =) The boys were super excited to see some goodies on the table waiting for them when they woke up. They each got a Lego set (surprise!) and a few candy items. They also got 'Kidz Bop 25' - they have been begging for that! Thankfully for us, the music isn't bad. I had a chiropractor appointment and had to run a few errands. While I was out, Tim rearranged Cole's room the way we had been talking about for a few months. It immediately transformed Cole's room into a big boy room! And best of all, it was free!!
It's Valentine's Day!!
Cole was happy with his Lego set
and so was Eli!
WE LOVE LEGOS!!
Chocolate is good too!
Can you tell Eli was excited to get the Kidz Bop cd?!
Assembly time (and it's Friday so Pop Tarts for breakfast)
Just turned Cole's bed 90 degrees and it makes it look so "big boy"
3d peeler bead airplane I made for Cole's room.
NFL peeler bead (cool stuff!)
My fun Holly Aiken purse from Tim for Valentine's Day - I absolutely LOVE how retro it is!
This is a baby blanket I finished up for a friend of mine from High School.
I even got to use the custom labels Tim gave me for Christmas.
I love how it came together - so many sweet boys fabrics that represent the parents well!
My favorite picture from the Pinewood Derby on Saturday.
They cut up the Lego catalog and picked out what they want. Cole especially studies the Lego catalog....a lot!
