Our Snow Day...In!

Although we didn't end up getting tons of snow, the roads were pretty icy yesterday morning, so we enjoyed having Jordan home for a few extra hours before he headed to work.  It definitely helped break up our day since I knew we weren't going anywhere all day due to the snow!

I knew we had to come up with some fun things to do, so I got out the cheap tablecloth, art easel, and paints and we had an art morning.  JM is NOT fond of anything related to art...ever.  But, Matthew is a true art lover!

We painted with regular paints and little markers...

And I even forced JM to come do a little bit of painting as well.

We got out our new Crayola light pen that turns the color of what you're coloring.  It's pretty cool!

Mainly, Matthew just tried to eat it.  He did really well and I may keep one of his masterpieces and frame it, it's so cute!

After art time we played and played and played in Matthew's room.  The boys played on the slide and we put in our Veggie Tales Toddler Tunes CD.  Jack enjoyed looking out the window at the pretty snow!

They wanted up into the crib and JM gave Matthew a few impromptu big brother hugs.  It was very, very sweet!  He's starting to do more and more of that lately!

Since I'm trying to get both boys to sleep at the same time in the afternoon (for my own sanity and pregnant tiredness!) I didn't put Matthew down for his morning nap.  He fell asleep during lunch!  He was so pitiful!

The weird thing was, he kept eating even though he was asleep.  Weird!

We played even more after lunch and both boys were sooo worn out that they took fantastic naps!  I settled in to watch TV, eat some lunch, and then I rested my head for a little bit before it was time to get up and start dinner.  I am definitely starting to feel better and I fixed dinner last night and the night before!  Shocking!

While I finished dinner, the boys watched Cars so sweetly.  And yes, that is a trampoline AND a drumset in our den.  Hey, I'm just trying to survive a cold winter in the house!
