When you have been stuck in the house for 3 days? You eat a lot and you get creative! Especially when your 5 year old does not like tv! I was so prepared for the "Winter Storm of 2011" to hit...spent lots of money at United and checked out 10 DVDs from the library. So far the food has been great...the DVDs haven't been touched! We have played lots of basketball, had a bouncy ball parade, excercised, made lots of pictures and paintings, playdoughed it, dressed up in every costume we own, looked at loads of pictures, they helped me fold clothes, made some jewelry, read books, tried to teach Raider some new tricks (yes, teaching an old dog new tricks doesn't work as well), and made lots of yummy food. We have tried to play in the snow a few times but with a -11 windchill, we don't last too long! And we tried to get out last night to go to dinner and the town looked like a ghost town. Nothing was open...even Target. This might be the longest I have been without going to Target ever. It has been over 2 weeks...whoa!
So for our yummy meals...we have had lots! We had mini meatloaf, chicken-n-dumplings, potato soup, Ritz chicken, Denver omlettes, Mexican food, sloppy joes to name a few. And desserts...Struesal pumpkin muffins in the oven right now (they smell so good!), brownies, smores, and Lemon pound cake with lemon icing. Along with our snow desserts...snow ice cream and snowcones! Yes...you will have to roll us all out of here when the snow melts! Cold weather puts me in the baking mood. I have also had a chance to work on Blurb books...trying to catch up from 2009!
It has been fun spending this special time with the kiddos. I cherish the moments. The dress-up pics are coming! Averi discovered she"fits" in Carter's clothes!
