With yet ANOTHER day looking like this (you can't see, but it was still snowing)....we had to make the best of it, and we did!
After breakfast, a little Mickey Mouse and a snack we got out our "Music Together Now" CD, we sang and danced and whipped out the paints. Their little minds were flowing with creativity.
Kyle found the glitter glue and HAD to create with it.
Hailey could not quite understand the concept of having to squeeze the tubes to get out the glitter glue. Suddenly the clouds opened up (literally) the suns rays shined through (literally) and the angels sang (not really, but it was like they did) Hailey said "Kyle, help please" and.....HE DID!! He helped her several times. He would climb down from his chair, put the color she chose on her paper, walk back around to his seat at the table; and each time Hailey asked for help, he just gave it to her. I even offered to help so Kyle could just work on his own project and neither one of them would let me. I know SHOCKING!
After a wonderful lunch...if you can even call it lunch, neither one of them ate very well. However, it was sweet to watch them CHOOSE to sit together at their own little table and do "cheers"
Then, LOOK........ YUP, they snuggled together! Just the 2 of them. It lasted just long enough to snap a few photos, but still it was a SITE TO SEE.
They then went to my room together and both took much needed naps. When they woke up they saw their friends Logan and Bradey outside and insisted on putting on their snowsuits to go out and play. I knew there was serious energy to be burned after a nice long nap, so their wish was my command. Kyle had a lot of fun with the boys. Hailey is really over the whole playing in the snow thang. I think she is too Diva for that. She was upset I put her on a little man-made snow slide...forget actually getting IN the snow.
But Ky, he LOVED it. Overall it was a great day. Followed with a yummy dinner, tubbies and bed.
Now......what are we going to do next week when we get TWO MORE feet of snow??? It is getting a little scary to be honest with you. I don't know where all the snow is going to go, and as for playing in it, well that's not going to happen because Hailey may get lost in it! I guess this is winter for ya =)

I love watching your kids because it gives me hope for mine!! I think I need to go buy a table for two once Emmy is a little older! :)
