Snow Days

January11

The flu kicked my butt for much of last week and weekend.  I finally start feeling better but only had 1 day of freedom before we end up snowed in.  A little over 3 inches fell – that is practically a blizzard for us.  And with the southern snow removal method (aka wait for it to melt method), it meant we were house bound yesterday.  Thankfully, it has been warm-ish so the roads actually cleared up pretty quickly…otherwise this could have left us snowed in for days.  My mother in law was supposed to fly in today but her flight was canceled so we hope to see her in a couple of days.

We got Sabrina a Mobigo for Christmas.  She LOVES it.  Tessa also got her own “laptop” – actually 2 of them – so she can join in with the geeky family fun.

The girls got an art table from Abuela.  More fun than watching them is listening to the story behind Sabrina’s drawings.  Love her imagination.

Of course they wanted to play in the snow.  Fortunately, Steve likes to play with them.  Momma isn’t such a fan.  Snow is cold and wet.  I like to be warm and dry.  I like to do the occasional snowman but I can never find all of my winter gear now that I only don’t need it daily for 4 months.

Sabrina’s school was canceled today so we are having a quiet day at home…less appealing after all of the quiet days when I had the flu but they never object to a little Dora.

Sabrina never passes up a princess opportunity.

    The girls are just getting so big. Love the princesses:) AND, Dad’s are great for playing in the snow……or an older sister with a bribe for some extra social fun:)

    Glad you are feeling better.
    You actually got a pic of Tessa without her running away. Good job! Maybe that phase has passed? One can only hope.
    Such cute girls. Thanks for the cuteness fix.

    Love that last pic of Tessa doing the “How’s my hair?” pose! And Sabrina Belle would fit right in at our house as Princess of the Day.
