"Fun Friday"

Because I don't babysit tomorrow, today was officially "Fun Friday". Every Friday we try to do something fun. We usually have a messy craft, a fun lunch, and then popcorn and a movie. Today we started out the day finger painting. Then we moved on to chicken nuggets for lunch. We finished off with The Twelve Dancing Princesses and popcorn. The day went pretty smoothly (other than my falling on the ice like a klutz...)

On another note, Leo has been climbing more. I didn't know that was possible, but apparently it is. Two days ago he pushed our ottoman over to the table to get at Alaina's juice.


Then yesterday he pushed his toy bucket over to get into his highchair.
Alaina and I made "fun chocolate milk" last night. We were at the bottom of the chocolate container so we just had to pour in milk, shake, and drink. No additional glass needed.

Today the kids had a bath right before nap so they went to bed with wet heads. This is how Leo woke up....
But before nap, as part of Fun Friday tradition, we finger painted. I had 3 paper towel rolls, so the kids each got to paint a "telescope".




We just got a ton of snow today. So much that Aunt Pam was unable to drive through it to come and visit. (We wish you were here!! We were looking forward to seeing you!!) The silver lining of the blizzard is that Dave and Alaina can go out and play. It is wonderful, heavy packing snow--so I guess only wonderful if you aren't shoveling--so they should have fun out playing. Every other snow fall has been light, fluffy, non-packing snow. I expect to see snowballs flying and snowmen being built! I even have a carrot and some charcoal if they are ambitious. As usual, I'll take on the important task of having plenty of hot chocolate, blankets, and movies waiting when they come in.
