Snowed In

The last weekend in January we had another big snow storm. Churches were closed Sunday and Schools were out all week. Funny thing is, the roads were pretty much clear during the week. RJ spent some time out sledding with a neighbor boy. Savannah stayed inside sick during the first few days of the week. RJ soon came down with a cough and by the end of the week Zachery was ill. He is now suffering from an awful ear infection in both ears. His third infection since Thanksgiving, Yikes! I've been busy trying to keep the kids somewhat entertained with trips to library, work sheets copied from various learning books, and lots of board games, on top of cleaning up sick messes. RJ was anxious to get back to School Monday.
RJ reading to Savannah when she wasn't feeling to good. She actually fell asleep listening to him.

Play time with daddy. They were on a big sword fighting adventure when Savannah stopped them and said they needed dinner. She had a large picnic for her warriors. It was pretty cute.

RJ is really into playing Monopoly. With school canceled all week he got to stay up a few nights and we played Monopoly together. He has gotten really good at counting money and making change.

Savannah's game of choice-Pretty, Pretty Princess

Friday, we had another snow storm. I think we only got a total of 10 or 11 inches between the two storms. Not nearly as bad as DC and farther North.

Savannah was finally aloud to go outside and play. She was so excited. Her and I made a snow man together during Zachery's nap. Later Jared and RJ did some more sledding.

Wow! That is a lot of snow! It's a bummer you guys have been sick, otherwise it must have been nice to have a week off of school and being snowed in. I swear, the busier I get the more I want to be snowed in for a week! I love the snowman Savannah!
