Snow Days of 2011

During the end of January and the beginning of Feb we had 2 snow storms. Nobody here know's how to drive in the snow so things pretty much shut down and people stay put until the snow & ice melt. We did a lot of nothing, Tyson practiced his guitar, I did some sewing....we watched lots of movies, took naps, went for walks, built 2 snowmen & did a few crafts called (Shrinky Dinks) that the Catherine's sent us from France. One afternoon we ventured out in the freezing cold to go to a free OU mens basketball game. They won! Yay! Lydia occupied herself with games. She is getting good at sorting & seriation. Check out those pictures. She calls them her "work" and she does spend a lot of time on them. :)

During the 2nd snow storm we thought it would be more fun to be stuck inside with friends so the Goepferts invited us over to their house for a sleepover. We stayed up till 2 a.m. playing games, Barry made us breakfast, we visited and then when the kids took a nap we played some Settlers...a huge version, it was pretty intense.

Fancy Nancy necklace I made for Lydia. You draw pictures on special paper and then cook it in the oven, it shrinks down to this and turns hard. Thank you Marie!!! :)

These are all such fun pictures, but i especially love the one where Lydia has lined up all of her blocks and pretend food. So cute!
