Snow Day Round 2

Things we did on Snow Day Round 2.

Lance shoveled the driveway.

We bundled the kids up to go outside again.  Sam got to join us this time…but he could barely move.

We took a short stroll down the street.  We were in desperate need of getting out of the house.  This being stuck is getting old.

Sam had his first attempt at walking in the snow.

But he decided to try and crawl through it instead.

Daddy gave him a little pep talk…

And sent him on his way.

But that didn’t go over too well.

Lance, Claire, and Reese built a toddler size snowman.

While Sam hung out in the stroller and watched.

The snowman turned out so cute and they were so proud of “Crystal”.  It has Dum-dums for eyes, a bigger sucker for the nose, a branch for a mouth, and snowflake shaped Peppermint Patties for buttons.

Reese had a staring contest with her.  I truly think she was trying to make her come to life like in the Frosty movie.

After dinner the kids got a ride on the laundry basket roller coaster.

I think today may have been Lance’s last day home with us and Claire is hopefully going to be on her way back home tomorrow.  She has not received a cancellation for her flight yet so it looks promising.

I am so glad to have had both of them with us these last few days.  I think I might have actually gone crazy being stuck in the house.  If Reese could choose a new mommy, I am pretty sure it would be Claire.  She will do things for Claire that she refuses to do for me.  The two of them cuddled in bed watching a movie this afternoon.  Reese doesn’t even sit still for her favorite movies with me! 

What fun memories we have made!!

I'm so glad she loves Claire, but what about Becky, Leah and Sue Sue. We're a close second?!? Claire will make a great mommy! I'm so sad I missed her!
