Ready? Set? GOOOOOO!
My Will loves monkeys. He is like a monkey because he looooves to swing and climb aaaand he hearts bananas. But I've had to limit his banana intake because they make him consitpated. And you don't want to know what happens when this kid can't poo. It's not pretty for his mother. Boy, that was a tangent of sorts wasn't it? Anyway, my kid loves monkeys and likes to sleep with all of his monkey friends. And Mr. Happy. Cutest thing you've ever seen? Yes.
While we were stuck inside last week during the "ICE STORM 2011" as dubbed by our local weather men, we worked on homework. Kennedy enjoys homework. But she's only in kindergarten. Pretty soon she'll hate it like my other kid.
Being stuck inside for 547 days is not fun for everyone so we had to get creative. We played super heroes...
...and ate bean dip and Dr Pepper...
...i watched my inbox fill up with emails for people saying they didn't have heat...
we couldn't drive to help them all in one day...and nobody was understanding of that. geez. it's not like it was freezing or anything.
...i caught my big boy sweetly reading to my little boy and it put a smile on my face.
then i caught my little boy reading quietly to himself which put another smile across my face. i watched my big boy do mundane things like wash his hands and i was sad that he isn't a baby who needs my help anymore.
being stuck inside for 982 days can make one kind of emotional
my husband so bravely risked his life and walked 25 miles up a hill in the snow one way with no shoes on so we could stock up on important necessities like this. what a guy.
we made Valentines for our loves
will looked at the snow but never went outside in it. he's not a fan.
i made blueberry muffins for a warm and cozy snow day breakfast...
...and took a wintry kind of walk. is she on the road or the sidewalk? who knows! we can't see the road! those cars might be parked in someone's yard for all we know!
we had some friends come over and i made them all snow ice cream. YUM.
and finally on Saturday we busted out and said, "NO MORE OLD MAN WINTER. NO. MORE. We're going to Chuck E Cheese to PARTY!" So we did. We got all fancied up and went to Chuck E Cheese for not ONE birthday party. But TWO. In the SAME. DAY. BACK. TO. BACK. I was a tad bit cranky after that...
...i looked like this after 4.5 hours of CEC mania. This picture would also best describe my feelings after my son locked us out of our running vehicle. Thank goodness for Onstar!
Whatchu got on your phone this linky Tuesday?
Jessica wants to know! Go link up friends!

I'm a little jealous of your winter weather! I live in Virginia- and we aren't getting anything! I would love some snow days to get out of work! ;) If it's not going to snow- then it needs to hurry up and get warm!!
Your kids are super cute! Love the ones of them reading together!
what the heck? your snowed in activities put me to shame, haha! maybe i need to start drinking Dr Pepper and then i'll have the energy to do stuff, pfft.
you should be given a medal or sumthin for back to back Chuck-e-cheese time, that's amazing! and so is Onstar!! ;)
Wow, you were snowed IN. I'm not sure I could have survived the 974 days stuck inside.
i'm not a big play in the snow fan either. my poor kids are deprived. it just isn't fun to me to get wet and ice cold all at once.
i LOVE watching my big kids read to my little kids too :) it makes my heart happy.
I really want some blueberry muffins now! :)
