Snow! Snow! Snow!

Today was the day!It snowed all day, i don't think it stopped until about 4:00. I think I shoveled my sidewalks & driveway about 3 times! Clayton hoped that he didn't have school today, because it snowed. Sorry!
After school Connor started building a snow fort with his friends. it is pretty cool. They are making snow "bricks" out of my bread pans. I think it will take a little longer then they thought but it is cool! Claire loves the snow! She gets all bundled up & likes to ride her bike down the driveway, & try to stop, but of course she can't! It is really cute! Clayton likes to ride his bike in the snow & try to help Connor build a snow fort! He likes to jump on the tramp with all the snow too! I like to shovel the sidewalks before anyone can get the chance to step on the snow. I HATE to shovel after someone has stepped on the snow, then it gets smashed down & it is hard to do!(that is my little OCD thing, one of my few) I also love to watch the kids play!

Claire is also learning how to wink! I have it on video! It is so funny! i will have to figure out how to get that on the blog!

Snow Day!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Clayton has been busy!

OK! Last time Bill was home, he took Clayton to Office Depot. It is Clayton's FAVORITE place in the world! He is fascinated with office supplies! So they looked for a while & found the perfect stapler. I think that ever since Clayton started kindergarten, he has noticed all the things that his teacher uses, & he is amazed by them! So he got his stapler & a package of him "own" paper. Bill showed him how to make envelopes, so we have plenty of those & "books" (without any words or pictures) Some of the envelopes have a lot of staples & will not come undone any time soon! Next on his list is a stapler remover & permanent markers. I told him he would need to be 16 years old to get permanent markers, and I am not a big fan of the stapler remover! He goes through a "strip" of staples every day. I told him I could only refill it once a day!:0 It is fun to see him so excited about something so simple! It makes me try to look at what I need to make me happy! I think today it is a boy with his stapler!
