I forgot to mention that we had our second snow day of the year ~ it was fun! In the morning Jason went to work, so of course first I shoveled the driveway. It was a little too cold to play outside anyway at 7am. I shoveled almost half our driveway, when suddenly....
(~cue the angels singing~)
our neighbor came out with his mega-snowblower and finished our driveway AND sidewalk! Yahoo!!! When I came back inside 30 minutes later, the munchkins had wiped their little noses with the four boxes of tissues that they collected from all parts of our house. The previously empty kitchen garbage was now full with the tissues, and the empty boxes were all over the kitchen counters... they crack me up :o)
In their defense, their noses were runny :o)
We also started a painting that I had planned on them making for some time. They painted it all except the tree trunks. Here is the finished product:
In the afternoon when Jason was home... we played in the backyard! Here is what we did:
 |
| The start of a snow castle, but it wasn't quite exciting enough, so... |
 |
| Daddy says, How about a snow CAVE? |
 |
| My firstborn inside this snow cave before it was enlarged to fit two. Is this thing structurally sound??? |
 |
| David and Mama built a skinny snowman |
And that was our fun-filled snow day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are more pictures I found on our camera:
 |
| Me and my boys (plus a friend) at another friend's birthday party ~ too fun! |
 |
| The random pictures I find on our computer... welcome to my world... |
 |
| Josh playing basketball (he's in the silver uniform furthest left) |
 |
| David reading a magazine just like Baba |
 |
| Sammy has to be right near his Mama all the time ~ even on the kitchen floor! |
Have a beautiful day!

Awesome Chris! Allison misses Josh and hopes to babysit for him and the other boys soon. Would love to get together again.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment (and prayers) on my blog, surgery went well and we are all at home now.
I haven't checked out your blog lately, but I just added myself as a follower.
I too, have been where you are (finally enjoying blissful boringness) and and all the different feelings after arriving home "after the airport". Stay strong, reach out to those around you, and take comfort in knowing you are not alone and your feelings are perfectly normal and to be expected. Sometimes that was one of the only things that helped throughout the day.
Enjoy your time volunteering in your children's schools. Hopefully spring weather is just around the corner!
Joyanne,
another Datong Mama!
