Do you want to build a snowman?

Well, maybe not a snowman (since it wasn't good packing snow), but do you want to play in the snow?  We finally got another snow and with it we have had no school for 4 days!  We were off on Monday for President's Day and then school has been canceled every day since.  We are on a 2 hour delay for tomorrow....let's see if they don't change their mind and keep us home!

How have we passed the time at home?
Snow Day #1....
In the middle of the snow storm...Gwen had to test out the sledding hill with Leah
Joey even joined in on the fun!



Snow Day #2...
We made Kool Aid play dough!  Can you guess what colors?

Wyatt working the blue play dough into lots of shapes
Gwen working the pink play dough into a pizza
Then we made real pizzas for lunch!
Delicious!
Then we had some fun playing in the snow:-)


 
Gwen worked on building castles
 

After Daddy came home it was time for more sledding!


 
 


After dinner it was time to finish building some more shelves for the play room-Wyatt really likes his hammer
Snow Day #3...
After cleaning house....time for a tea party!
Snow Day #4...
 Today has been full of doctor's appointments for me and fun with Gram for Gwen and Wyatt. After a morning appointment, I met up with them for lunch and drove everyone to Jasper to go to another appointment for me and to pick up Poppy's new truck.  My appointments went very well.  All looks good with the baby's heart and she is growing!  She is a pound and 5 ounces now! We will meet again with my regular OBG and the fetal specialist in 4 weeks to keep monitoring growth.  If she keeps on growing, we will be cleared from the specialist to remain only under the care of my OBG (cross your fingers and pray).  We have learned that one of the biggest risks with having a 2 vessel cord is that the baby will be small.  After a discussion with my OBG today, we really won't need to be too worried.  As long as she stays on the path she is on and keeps growing steadily, we are on target for another 6 pounder :-)  I guess small for some is normal for us!

Being camera shy as usual, but she gave us a wave
On the way home, we celebrated...with ice cream!  What more could you want on a cold negative degree day?  We also learned today that our Auntie Ashley is having a boy!!!!!!!!!!  Hurray for another boy cousin!  Go Team Awesome! That brings the total for the babies coming to: boys-3  girls-4 and 1 surprise!
