Let It Snow!

 Claire

The first snow day of the year happened this week for Claire on her second day back to school after the break! She was a little disappointed that she didn't get to go see her friends again, but we had fun at home regardless and the rest of her week of school was good. During the snow day, I made a pirate ship that Claire took around and found Shay as a mermaid, pretty cute. It started snowing again yesterday and we woke up to at least 3 inches of snow added to the 1 that was already on the ground from earlier in the week. Our church meetings were canceled, and I'm starting to feel cooped up! We've watched Prince of Egypt, played a game, cuddled, and had a good day but it's not the same as going to church.

Shay

I think she enjoyed some of her alone time this week when Claire went back to school and was able to get back into her schoolwork with me. I found a book that I have had for a while and meant to start earlier so she is excited because it is something new. It feels like their internal alarms go off at 7am only on the days we would usually get to sleep in, but I haven't started minding yet because I'm sleeping pretty well for being so pregnant. Chris joined all the neighbors out around 9am this morning in shoveling and the girls watched from the window. After he finished the front he snuck out back and created a slide out of snow that the girls got to play on until the snow kept getting under their coats and boots and they got cold. We might make it out again before it gets dark to build snowmen and if we do you'll get those pictures next week.
