Poor Mr. Groundhog....

It kind of looks like he got hit by a car....

Happy Groundhog Day!!!

We are home for another snow day!  We tried to be a bit more productive today and even did a little cleaning.... very little.  We have been doing our best to celebrate Groundhog's Day.  We started off the morning with some Punxatawney Phil pancakes.

  Later we played with our pop-up Phil toy and ate groundhog cupcakes.

Tonight we will be having Groundhog loaf.  I'll let you know how it turns out.  

Nolan really loves school, especially music time and arts & crafts.  The Wheels on the Bus is currently his favorite song (particularly the wheel and horn part).  They learned about farms last month, with planting seeds and making butter.  So we decided to make some bread and butter today as well.  It was a big hit!

Right now we are hoping for a third snow day and trying to stay warm!

 

Keeping Warm and Staying Cool!!!

Thanks to Nolan's new hat from our sweet friend Lisa and mama of this cutie...

Snow Day!!!

We live for snow days in this house!  It is even better when Daddy stays home too!  We started the morning very early singing the "No School Today" song to Aunt Veazey!  She wouldn't admit it, but it is her favorite part of a snow days too!  It has been a bit of a challenge today.  It is actually one of the rare snow days we have where it is too yucky to get on the roads, so we have to find activities and food in the house.  A bit scary!  We had snowman pancakes for breakfast!

Nolan and I have been working on a garland for his valentine's day party and valentine's for his friends!  We also made homemade marshmallows to take to our neighbors with some hot chocolate!  We might have also made some decorations for tomorrow.....

James Taylor comes to my house every night...

Nolan has decided that he is only able to go to sleep while listening to James Taylor.  This isn't the first time we have had this problem, but now he is much more vocal about it.  When he was little we would rock him to sleep listening to it.  Now every night we have to turn it on before he gets in bed, otherwise he has a total freak out and won't go to sleep!  

 

Pajama Tuesday

Thank You Aunt Veazey

Nolan got a helmet for his tricycle from his Aunt Veazey.  Some of you may say who needs a helmet for a tricycle, obviously you have never met my son (with his black eye).

He liked it so much he even wore it on our walk.... probably not a bad idea!
