Snow day

We've had quite a bit of snow this year. Here are a few photos from the last snow, which was about a month ago.

Miller sported her first snowsuit.


They had a great time playing outside...


Making snow angels...


and more snow angels.


The tricky part was getting back up. Miller made about 50 snow angels on this particular day but never did master getting back up.


The sledding hill was plowed, so I got my exercise running them up and down our street.


Colby caught in a sweet moment, checking to see if his sister is having fun.

Shocking

It was unusually quiet upstairs....Miller and Colby were watching a show before quiet time. I was downstairs frantically trying to return phone calls about carpet, bathroom accessories, and the closing of our current house. Usually the 30 minutes fly by, but this time it seemed longer. I knew they only watched one show, and couldn't start a new one by themselves, but there was not a peep coming from upstairs. It was completely silent. Neither of them nap anymore...and Colby never sits quietly for very long. What could be going on? I walked upstairs not sure what I would find, and nothing could have been more shocking than this.




Scroll down...








I was so caught off guard, and also thrilled that they were napping, that I didn't know what to do. Do I take a picture and risk waking them? Or do I let them sleep and forgo catching this on camera? Obviously, I took the risk and it did wake Colby. But thankfully, Miller is still up there snoozing and Colby is in his room playing. A few more minutes of bliss!

Puzzle girl

In just a week, we've moved on from 24 piece puzzles to 48, which Miller does all by herself....and here's the proof. (double click on video to make it bigger and not cut off on the right side)
