g is for greta

I think we have used 4 out of 5 allotted snow days. Ugh. One of them was a lame excuse for wanting another day off. Don’t they realize how hard it is to entertain kids that are stuck inside their home for numerous days in a row?! We were all bouncing off the walls! Here are some things that kept us busy:

LOTS of playing inside and out

I thought this sign was cute but felt bad for my buddy Ethan for being banned. (No Ethan aulood–Privit)

Decorations for birthdays/Valentine’s Day–We hung “Happy Birthday” and the numbers Tony, Corinne, and James (brother-in-law) were turning from the chandelier.

The kids didn’t like that it wasn’t easily readable. Corinne had another idea that worked PERFECTLY!!

That left the chandelier all lonely so we did this:

Any reason to stretch out their attention spans a little longer and eat some time off the ol’ clock!

One of the mornings we woke up to some chaos.

I guess that snow day was warranted. Eventually the roads got cleared and life was as normal as it could be with my three wonderful yet crazy kids!

Today I noticed my daffodils creaping up through the mulch. Spring is on the way!

The kids were so excited for Christmas to come. They were too cute getting everything ready for Santa.

(Dear Santa, We hope you are safe and… we wish you a Merry Christmas. Love, Corinne Mason and Ethan)

We were so busy opening presents on Christmas morning, that we didn’t get a single picture! It wasn’t until after the chaos was over that we realized our mistake. We did get some video, though. Thank goodness! There weren’t any blood relatives in town, so we had the closest thing to it–THE MORANS–over for dinner with Misti’s parents. It was a delicious meal. The kids had fun playing with their new toys.

Papa Tom and Abuelita came to town later in the weekend with the Woolfs so we were sure to get some pictures then.

Mason was feeling the love!

Isn’t that what Christmas is all about?
