Snow Day!

Today is a snow day!  Ella's preschool was cancelled, for the first time all year (first time it was closed on a day that she was supposed to go).  Our poor girl cried and cried when she went to get dressed for school and I told her it was cancelled.  I will someday remind her of this when she is praying for a snow day in high school.  She had a daddy/daughter pizza dinner at school tonight and that was also cancelled.  Poor girl.  I hope they reschedule it soon!

I made the best of the day with the kids all cooped up inside.  We are still in our jammies (me, Hannah, and Hailee), we made cookies (and ate them), colored pictures, and watched some TV.  I NEVER make homemade cookies, like never.  I generally just buy the ones you break apart and pop in the oven.  It was nice to make them from scratch.  I am really hoping this is our last snow if the year.  I am SO ready for some nice weather!

Many of you may not even know we have a dog.  Yes, this is the often times forgotten about member of our family, Chloe.  She is cute, but I sure do hate when she gets snow all over the house when coming in after a big snow fall!

My little cookie baking helper!

Cookie approved by Miss Hailee!  Although, I don't know what cookie would not be approved by this girl.

Some cookie packages for a couple neighbors.  I wonder when today I will get out to deliver these...

This photo is from last night.  Ella now likes me to read to her from her Bible at prayer time before bed.  Love, love, LOVE that this 3 year old has so much love and interest in Jesus.  I like to think we must be doing something right ;)

Fun at the park!

The other day the girls and I went down to the park when they got up from their afternoon naps.  It was a gorgeous afternoon and I figure we need to take advantage of any nice weather while we still have it!  The girls are so much fun now!  I love all of their ages so much.  I like that they can do so much on their own and a lot of times I am just there supervising.  Going to the park (or anywhere) is still quite chaotic, but is much more fun these days!  Enjoy these phone photos from our afternoon out :)  And I hope you get a good laugh out of the video!

On the way to the park!  They are getting a little snug all in the wagon at once!

Hailee thinks she is a big shot climbing up the "big girl" steps.

Hannah LOVES slides!  She isn't afraid of even the biggest ones!

Hailee wanted to walk Chloe home.  It was cute, but I don't think so ;)

This was the evening before when we went for ice cream.  Paul worked late, so I took the girls.  I love that they can all walk up from the car holding hands, and then sit there and eat their own ice cream (or any food for that matter).  They all love being Miss Independent and I have no problem with that!

Ok, so the video will not let me add a caption.  You may want to turn the volume down so you don't hear me cracking up at them.  I really thought this was the funniest thing ever!  Then they just kept plowing into each other over and over again.  They thought is was hilarious and no one ever cried.  Our park adventure sure made my day!
