Snow and Shower

Okay, so my pictures are not in order as they happened! Cailean went to work on Wednesday and then was sent to SC to fix a plane. Not a good day to go on a roadtrip since Thursdays and Fridays he takes care of the kids because those are my long days at work. So, we had to rearrange some things and Gavin spent the day with Pekai on Thursday.

Friday night it started SNOWING!!!! Because of our one inch of snow Ian's basketball game was canceled on Saturday and his baseball tryouts for Sunday. ARGH!!!! Since it was Valentine's Weekend, I made them pink heart-shaped pancakes Saturday morning for breakfast and then we went outside to build a snowman. Gavin was hard at work.

We had to take the annual pose by the bushes. Last year's pic turned out a little better because you could see the red berries on the tree. But these faces are too cute!!!!

Ian shoveled the driveway with his dad. He definitely is a big helper around the house.

Gavin made this Valentine's hat at school last week. He asked me to take a picture of him.

On Friday a couple parents from Ian's class and I had put together a surprise baby shower for Mrs. Harris. She is due the first week of March, so we chose Friday as the big day. We made 6 stations:

1. snack station and deliver their Valentine's Day cards

2. pick a number and then make a birthday card for that year

3. used rubber stamps and stamped on a onesie

4. guessed what was in 3 "dirty" diapers and practiced putting a diaper on a doll

5. wrote a letter to the baby

6. guessed the birthdate, name, gender, length, weight, etc.

The kids came back from music a few minutes early and when she walked in the door they jumped up and down yelling, "SURPRISE!!!!"

A picture of our front yard area on Saturday morning. It was nice seeing the snow on the trees, but some of the snow is still here and it's Sunday night as I type this. I'm actually ready for Spring now.
