Another snow day....how did we keep busy?

It is beginning to feel like the movie ground hogs day. Get up, eat, clean up, kids watch cartoons, entertain them, lunch, more entertaining, craft or something, reading, torture Jordan by making her do homework,go outside, dinner, video, put kids to bed. Over and over again. It's funny because on holidays or Saturdays, even if we don't go anywhere, it doesn't seem so hard to keep everyone occupied. Must just be the thought that we can't go anywhere even if we wanted to.

So here we have today-the snow is falling again and the wind is blowing like crazy. What could we do different? First off, I must mop the sad neglected floor to maybe stop everyone's feet from sticking. I spend an hour on the kitchen and dining rooms. The kids keep themselves busy by watching cartoons, then when the alloted time is up and mom is not quite done..

Play "city bus" on the chairs that mom has moved out of the dining room.
Was actually pretty cute to see them take turns as the bus driver picking people up.
So now we have a clean dining room, let's start a project mommy and Jordan want to do. We shall call it our "love wall"

first you get out the cricut and start cutting hearts and letters out.
such a fun toy
Jordan loves typing in the letters to tell it what to cut
Next step: start taping them to the wall. Meanwhile daddy is in the family room downstairs keeping the boys happy by playing "mario wii" as they call it. Thanks daddy:)
OH dang it,.....one too many backspaces and lost a cute pic...too bad....not going to add it now...oh well.

But Success!! Our finished project. Our "love wall" We started doing the names on the cricut, but then it was taking a very long time so Jordan started writing on the hearts. We have tons more names we want to add, but this is it for now:)


And onto daddy. While he is home, we must all sit on him at the same time.


Here we are in a little "love fest" then later in the day watching Star Wars Empire Strikes Back
And the day wouldn't be complete without at trip out into the snow!

Poor daddy-this has been his life for days now....
Spencer had a blast on a huge mound of snow up at the end of our row of houses.
Jordan loves sticking her face in the snow. They were so funny-the wind didn't even effect them-well Jordan and Spencer anyhow. They thought it was fun to run around the neighborhood and climb on all the snow piles.
Love how the snow freezes to Jordan's hair
Here's Landon before a gigantic gust came and falling down in the snow in his face
And here's Landon after when we came in....
Jordan resisting coming in the house
and finally this is how we found Landon when we came in...that is after searching for him all over-we didn't even see him on the couch-it was the corner by the railing, so we just missed him Poor fella....
