We had a 1st birthday party for Nick last weekend. A few friends and my mom joined us a CiCi's for some pizza. The kids enjoyed it as well as Nick (as good as a 1 year old can). He smashed some cupcakes and demanded ice cream. Over all, a good afternoon.
We've had snow days for the last two days here. Kris and both agree that we would have had school when we were growing up. I mean really, 2 inches. On Tuesday, they cancelled school before it even started snowing! Ryan was very upset because he was missing computer lab. He wasn't so upset about missing art today, but he is sure hoping for school tomorrow - it's gym day! Sunday and Monday were not the best parenting days for me and Kris was wonderfully able to change his schedule to not travel this week. Thank goodness! Luckily, Tuesday was much better. Peaceful until about 4, when I refused to let Ryan watch another movie. It continued to be hard until I was able to get them out of the house today! And then it was good again. Today, we went swimming and played in the snow. Ryan and Emma were supposed to start their first joint swim lesson, but it was cancelled, much to their disappointment. Yesterday, we did a project that I had been holding onto for just this type of day. I had aprons for them to decorate. We had puffy paint and iron on letters. So you can see the results in the picture.
Also, Emma is on a puzzle craze. My Aunt Dawn bought Ryan a US states puzzle, which I actually thought would be a little hard for him now. But Emma has been working on it for a few days now and this evening was able to complete it all by herself. I think she'll be getting some puzzles for her birthday!
