snow day

Yeah I know, for those of you in Manitoba this is what you see every day. Well for us it isn't and this morning it was a total surprise. School was cancelled. Work was cancelled and we spent the day at home. First thing the girls were dressed in their winter finest and outside.

Snow angels, forts, fox trails, all the winter fun to be had was done in no time. Until their little cheeks and fingers got cold and they had to come in to warm by a nice warm fire.

Inside we had the joy of Easy Bake, reading, some Mario brothers on Wii.

Then back outside. Willow and I shoveled the driveway (while it was still snowing). Tery and I went for a walk and surprised the girls with some delicious Fish and Chips.

It has now stopped snowing so we'll see what tomorrow morning has in store for us.

Hard to believe that next week it will be March.

Super Sunday

It's always super when your day involves soup. Yummy Chicken Thai soup. So good.

It's also super when you are hanging out with good friends and totally relaxed. I hadn't been feeling well all week and pretty much spent the week sleeping so it was good to get out and be with people. We did a little craft, went for a nice walk where we got to see not just 1 but 5 big fat seals. They are pretty cool to watch.

To top it all off my good friend, who goes by so many names in our house, we'll call her Kareen for now, helped me out. She opened up her magic freezer, produced her most delicious cookies, waved her magic wand and produced melted chocolate and toppings. The kids had so much fun and made a huge mess and were so delighted to give treats that they decorated to their friends for Valentines Day.

I will mark this as one of my favorite days so far this year.

guess who made which cookies

oh yeah. And she took all these photos as well.
