The husbands thought Natalie and I were crazy to take the four children to Mac n Joe's...but we did it and had an awesome time!

Nora and Noah...future sweethearts?

New Bathroom

So not really a new bathroom - just some re-decorating.  The bathroom had been a light green with a zoo shower curtain - a pink elephant and a blue hippo.  But I wanted a change!  I found some hooded bath wraps that I really liked, so I took it from there.  I had the towels embroidered with Leah, Max and Noah.  I asked Pat to paint the room white and I found a white and navy shower curtain with matching hand towels and sink accessories.  Pat painted an oak shelf/hook thing navy and I purchased three frames and some paint from Michael's that matched the hooded towels.

Hard to tell in the pictures, but the frames and towels match perfectly!

Below are the pictures that I put in the frames.

Special thanks to my hubby who simply smiled when I asked him to paint the bathroom (took three coats!) and the oak shelf.  I am sure some choice words went through his mind when I asked for his help, but he really did not complain too much!

Snow Much Fun!

The forecast was predicting some 'weather' for us Tuesday night into Wednesday - and it sounded pretty promising.  So Leah wore her pajamas inside out, did a snow dance and flushed ice cubes down the toilet.

Then the wait began.  Pat and I were constantly checking Facebook and Twitter for any announcement of a delay or closing.  First, a two-hour delay popped up, and about an hour later the official closing announcement!  Our first snow day in two years!  Thanks to Leah we were able to sleep in, enjoy some pancakes for breakfast and have a little snow day fun.

We missed our chance to make a snowman the day after Christmas.  In January I even bought Frosty's nose 'just in case' we would need one - I just threw it out a week or two ago.  So to Kroger I went to get a nose, and Pat, Leah and Max headed outdoors.

Not happy to be left inside

Kaida has always loved the snow - today was no exception!

Better mood once he could watch

Building the base

Rolling the middle

Fixing the head

Green apples for eyes

Carrot for the nose

Carrot broke, so Frosty has a stubby nose

Still watching

After the kids warmed up and took a nap, it was time for arts-and-crafts.  This past weekend Leah had picked out some boxes to paint and I saved them for a rainy day - but a snowy one is just as good!

While I love the white stuff, I am also happy to see it go.  It should make a quick exit - the temp is to be in the 50s this weekend!
