At this rate the kids will be in school until July 4th! We have missed several days due to snow/blizzard conditions, and this week the ice moved in too. Everything is covered in a 1/2 inch of ice, making it even dangerous to walk to the car. I have been really nervous about taking Ty in his car seat outside, in fear that I may slip. The big boys are going stir crazy as there was no school Wed., late start Thurs., and no school today. I can't even let them go outside to burn off any energy, because huge branches keep falling. Oh, and to top it off we have lost power several times in the past few days. Try explaining to a 4 year old that he can't watch a movie because there is no electricity.
Here is how that conversation went:
Me: "Cayden, sorry you can't watch a movie right now because we have no power in our house."
Cayden: "Okay then I will just go to the basement and watch a movie."
Me: "No Cayden you can't because our entire house has no power including the basement."
Cayden: "Fine! I'll go to my room and watch a movie then!"
Me: "Cayden, you're not getting the point. You can't watch a movie anywhere at this time."
Cayden: "What!? I guess I'll see if Brady wants to play the Wii.
At this point I gave up.
Anyway, to pass our time we have been doing tons of coloring (will need new coloring books after this ice storm), made homemade brownies, and had a couple of play dates. Here are a few pics of the family hanging out & trying to pass the time!
Daddy and Ty
Kellen coloring me a beautiful picture.
Happy Ty playing with the toys on his rocker.
Kellen feeding his baby. Mike was a little unsure when I bought him a baby, but at
least it's a boy. And he loves him!
Brady & Cayden also coloring and cutting out

Poor Ty can never lay on the floor, because
this is what happens.

Holding up in the weather is yucky these days! I say don't worry about the dolly, it just shows how caring he is and what a good daddy he'll be someday! On a similar note, Grant wanted a Tinkerbell backpack for school and wanted to be Tinkerbell for Halloween. I bet that sits about as well for Mike as it did with Shane! Ah, what do ya do!
I think Ty's hair is getting lighter all the time! Quinn picks out Tinkerbell fruit snacks everytime, and he really wanted Disney Princesses for his bday (Scott said no!)
Laughing out loud when I read your conversation with Cayden. I could just hear it!
