we have had so much snow. three snow days in a row, so the kids have been home from school all week. today i decided i would be an exciting mom and play.
we started out with gingerbread houses. i thought it was a great idea, but i didn't make the frosting like i have before and well....they didn't really work out. in fact, they didn't work at all.
luckily anything sugar is great with kai so he didn't really care....it is tricky to lick and smile at the same time.
max had fun painting himself...and me. 
NEXT: "MO-MAN" (said with a slight growl)max loves snowmen so i thought today was the day to build his first snowman. snow is not my favorite so i was being a really great mom to get all bundled and get out there. it looks pretty good, don't you think?
until you put max next to it so you see it is actually only about six inches tall. the snow was horrible and wouldn't pack at all. max was not too happy about the whole thing.
he kept knocking the head off...and crying. i think he was just cold, but part of me wonders if it was the dinky-ness of the whole thing.
the saving grace of the snow day was the personal sledding hill dave and the kids made on our front steps. i do love hearing kai say, "ready, steady, GO!"
i guess shrink-a-dinks were always pretty great in the end...just different than expected.
