Happy ♥'s Day

Valentine's class party

Today was Joshua's class Valentine's Day party and I was able to visit the class and help out (yay). Miss Amanda helped each of them make these super cool Valentine's boxes.

She decorated the class with red, white and pink balloons. Then had plates of muffins, strawberries, grapes, marshmallows, lolly pops. and candy hearts for them to snack on.

After lots of sugary treats, it was tough to get all the kids still long enough to snap a class photo.

Lots of fun memories for Joshua in his Pre-K class.

Lately, if you ask him what he is saving his money for in his piggy bank, he will tell you that it is for Kindergarten. (We've been telling him that we are saving it for college, but Kindergarten or college, that's close enough!) :-)

Woke up to a winter wonderland again

Joshua told us he needed to stay home from school today because there wouldn't be any snow to play in by the time he got home. He was right, it melted by lunch time.

Here's hoping for at least one more big snow in Georgia this year!!!

Day 6 and we've still got snow and ice

Not much is left, but our road is still covered, especially right in front of our driveway....

Have you ever seen any cuter de-icers?

Day 3 of the snow!

We were finally able to build somewhat of a snowman, who was really an iceman,

only to be knocked down immediately....

the sun finally came out and the moon was right there with it

Snowball

by Shel Silverstein

I made myself a snowball

As perfect as could be

I thought I'd keep it as a pet

And let it sleep with me.

I made it some pajamas

And a pillow for its head.

Then last night, it ran away

But first, it wet the bed.

We do have a few balls of ice/snow in the freezer. We also had to bring a few in to play with in the bath tub.

More snow photos

We ventured out again this afternoon and found about a quarter inch of ice on top of the snow. We don't have a sled, but had a bright idea that Joshua's boogie board would work pretty well.

It was all good and fun....

...until mommy got on board and the rope broke.....pain for everyone involved
Look at the ice!
Help! I've fallen and can't get up!

Here comes the snow......

Let it snow! Let it ice! Staying home to play is oh so nice!

Ready to roll!

A little over 6 inches and more to come!

Cleaning off the car, although we don't plan to drive anywhere

The first taste of the new snow

Trying to catch a few flakes
The sweetest face I know

No chance for a snowman because the snow is too powdery. Next best thing: a snowmound (castle) for the robot

Time to go.....I'm getting cooooollllllllldddddd!
