You go to bed with some fluffy flakes and wake up to everyone home in the morning due to a full out storm. (He) Chris decided to wait until it was light out to head to work in the van in need of repairs (seriously VANS and the people in this house … not good)… and (She) Chris had her schedule changed so that she would not have to ride on the roads until it warmed up. So much snow!

So much snow!

So of course the first thing I did was have the twins dress up and head out to make a snowman. They made a tiny one that they said was “Echo sized”. The snow was perfect for it, actually would have been perfect for a snowball fight but that was best NOT suggested!

We had lots of productive school time today… math, copywork… even bookwork for the little ones. 

Working in the sunlight

Not only that but Starfall is up and running in the corner of the room. Though Echo is a little bit rough at times… at least it is something “new” to occupy the kids!

So to go with the fresh snow we also dressed up (He) Chris’ car… with bunny ears AND a tail! Gotta love Dollarama! I think the whole set cost 2.00.

I found some time to finish off my bunny barrettes. You can find the instructions and the link to the template HERE. I have done them two ways – the stitching on the ears with just DMC regular floss and then the others with blending filament. I made one up in time for (she) Chris to wear to work and another for Trinity for when we do photos. The rest are awaiting barrettes and selling. I ordered some more alligator clips off eBay today (to be sent to She Chris) so I will have another 50 to use before the month is over, I hope! 

Bunnies!

So tomorrow I plan on having the boys make some Easter (ish) themed paperchains for Chris and Chris to decorate their home. I was lucky enough to bring a box along with the bulk of my cardstock (sadly not very much white) and remembered today that I did have some lovely colours. AND my paper cutter!! Add to that our tiny stapler and one of our boxes of 5000 staples and we are in business. 

The chapter illustrations I promised from last blog

Our actual Easter plans are up in the air still at this point. Ken has found 3 possibles for purchase online and is in contact with them van wise and Chris and Chris are attempting to get their brakes fixed this weekend. If that works out we may have wheels to get to mom’s for the holiday but back here on the Monday night. So we shall see. I am sure either way we will make it a great day!
