stay home snow day

it snowed here in Arkansas! The kind of glorious white fluffy stuff that covers my mostly dead grass and makes it all peaceful and pretty. The kind of event that closes school, makes you break out scarves and gloves and snow boots, layer up clothing and set out the hot chocolate ready to be made after a cold day playing

when you really have a million other things to do.

Little man was sooo excited to run after Ree to play in the snow. That is until his jeans got snow in the whole in his knee (after about 5 min) and he said "i cold" he then ran back inside to claim his seat on the back of the couch looking out the front window where he was our number one fan (as long as he could cheer from inside where it is warm) i worry about him sometimes. 

not Ree though! She is the girl that her extremities will get all blue and her scarf will have the ice balls hanging from it. you know, the ones that were snow but melted and then re-froze she has been outside that long. After she was done with her creation (whose eyes include jar lids and whose nose is THE BIGGEST carrot you have ever seen that she dug out of the ground herself) she looked back at it as she was walking inside and replied "well, that is the weirdest snow man I have ever made"

out of the mouths of babes

and of course after all that hard work, and after being cooped up in the house for what seemed like a million years (which it has been according to snowed in days) we went to out to eat. At this particular all you can eat buffet i was informed by Ree that THIS WAS ALL SHE COULD EAT....

and what stay- home- day would be complete with out mommy walking in to HER room after dishes, laundry and picking up "stuff" all ove the house to find two dead weight bodies in her nice big comfy bed?? and of course you cant rouse them (altough i bed if i told them the cookies were done i would see an automatic rise and shine)

i know one thing,,,momma aint sleeping on the twin tonight!!
