Snow day! Sat Feb 4, 2012

Such good helpers :)

This is pretty much what they wanted to do all day--stay in jammies and watch movies!

Finally came back out to play!

We have had a very un-winter like winter so far this year. So when we got about 9 inches of snow this weekend it was a big deal! The news had hyped it up as usual so I was prepared for the snow day with lots of movies and groceries! We woke up Sat morning to a lot of white stuff. Ellie declared it a "pajama day" and we pretty much never did get out of our pajamas! It was actually kind of nice to have a day with nowhere to be and nothing to do. We watched several movies and Ellie's favorite was the Justin Bieber movie. She really hasn't been that into him but I had heard the movie of his life was pretty good so when I saw it at the movie store I got it. She loved it and it really is a good story about who he is! We also watched Spy Kids which Jack loved. Neither of the kids really had any desire to go out and play in the snow--what kid in Nebraska doesn't want to play in the snow---MINE! I pretty much had to force them outside (Ellie still in her jammies under her snow clothes!) and they were ready to come back in after a few min. Dave made Ellie stay out and help him shovel of which she complained through most of it but oh well! They came back in and finally later in the day Ellie wanted to go back out so we all went back out and they played for a while. Jack is not a huge fan of the snow even though he loves talking about weather and kept saying "it's gonna snow, and lightning and thunder"--I swear that kids is going to be a meteorologist---he loves weather!! All in all it was super relaxing snow day! Sunday we ventured out and went to church and then decided to take the kids to a movie at the cheap theather. We saw "Puss in Boot's" and it was cute. It was only Jack's 3rd movie but he did great--he sat pretty much through the entire movie--of course being entertained by a ton of snacks but who cares!! Now we are settling in for a cold week and the reality of winter. At least it is already Feb and spring is around the corner :)
