Yee-haw! We are on our second snow day in a row. When a groggy little person stumbled out of the bedroom yesterday morning I told her that it snowed and school was cancelled. She got a big grin on her face and replied, "for real life?". We were both pretty excited. She noted that yesterday was the first snow day she's had since kindergarten. I know I just had a three day weekend and all, but it is kind of nice to have and extra couple days to be stuck at home to catch up on some of the housework.
It's been down right cold outside. We only stayed out for about 10 minutes yesterday. It was just too unbearable. Today...no chance of going outside. It is WAY too bitter.
Sometimes you just have to come inside and warm up with a little hot cocoa action. We did some painting, some game playing, some Easy Bakin'.....
Evangeline doesn't always pick up after herself or do what I ask her the first time, but man, when she's in the mood to clean she gets down to business. She has been such a little helper. She put on her apron and told me she was my maid. She kept asking me, "what shall I do now?" and then I would give her jobs. She was so proud to show me her nice, neat drawer full of folded washcloths. (I was really impressed considering when I do it they just get tossed in the drawer in a heap.) Today she washed all of the living room windows and dusted. She did an amazing job.
Evangeline made this sweet little "newspaper" for her new baby brother or sister.
The newspaper included some of the things she said she is going to teach her brother or sister. Here are some of the things she mentioned:
-How to talk.
-How to write.
-How to read.
-How to share.
-How to help people in need.
-Don't touch the hair straightener when it's hot.
-How to help people.
-Don't' sing on stage when nobody's watching.
This baby is going to be so lucky to have her.
