50 Degree Snow Day

So this is the entry I was going to post last Monday on our 50 degree snow day, but got distracted. It was snow day number 11 for us, but fortunately, our calendar has 11 days built into it, so we do not have to make any up. Thank goodness because we already go until June 10.

Not much else new and exciting is going on here at possibility manor. We paid a visit to Violet's first babysitter yesterday (last Sunday) and had a great time letting the 'brothers and sisters' play with her and keep contact with her. For those of you that don't know, we had to change babysitters in November because Violet's first babysitter found out she was pregnant. Due to her high risk status, her doctor had told her that she really didn't want Kathy babysitting, so we found another babysitter. Not easy, but it's worked out pretty well. Kathy is doing great and everything ended up going very smoothly, and there will be a new baby boy Walch by the end of March. Violet had a blast and really enjoyed playing with Kelsey's doll so I guess we know what's going in Violet's Easter basket.

Other than that bit of information from last week, our schedule this week is jam packed. Track season started yesterday, so Ben is consumed by that, and the 2nd grade play is this Friday night, so that's what my time is spent doing.

I thought I'd leave you with a few pictures from another 'warm' snow day; we are very anxious for spring as Violet absolutely lives to be outside. After taking these pictures Mom and Dad were cold and so we went in and got to listen to a very upset baby. Violet is getting very good at expressing her dissatisfaction of our choices. Even though this snowman looks extremely happy, he only lasted a few days. Gravity took it's toll.

And just because sleeping babies are so cute...




Have a wonderful end to your week! And may this last picture leave you with a smile.

Violet loves mom's hat!

So evidently when you go back to a draft, it posts it on the original date. So, it's edited from today, but posted as last Monday. Very interesting....
