Snowy Day

Tonight we went to Children's Theater Company to watch A Snowy Day and other stories by Ezra Jake Keats. The show was mainly shadow puppets which was really fun to watch. I was surprised at how well it kept my attention. The girls seemed to like it too... I think Robert did as well. One of the best things about our location is the distance to downtown MPLS. We can get there in under 30 minutes and the Children's Theater Company is a very easy drive too. So far we have enjoyed several shows including The Wizard of Oz, The Grinch and another one that had the word snow in the title but the name escapes me. Our next show is in May and we can't wait.

Long weekend and its only Thursday!

The best part about today was Hadley and I got to take Ellie to her preschool. Ellie's preschool follows district 196 so I assumed she didn't have to go today but they don't follow every day off I guess which was great for us! Ellie was so excited to have her mommy drop her off and pick her up. It was fun for Hadley and I too.

I love my new job but I miss out on being more involved with the everyday school things for the gals. I am thankful though that my job allows me time off when the girls are off and I work the exact same hours as they go to school... so with the help of my wonderful neighbors I am able to pretty much bypass daycare and next year it will just be drop off and pick up they will have to worry about since Ellie will be in Kindergarten. YIKES. This year... Ellie has spent M/W/F with Krista and T/TH with Kerstin. Soon Kerstin (bless her heart) will have Ellie everyday until summer break since Krista and family are moving... tear!

The worst part of my day today...
My first crown! It was bearable... but I couldn't wait to get out of that dental chair that's for sure.

Snow Day

We had a early dismissal today! Out at 12:30pm...
It was a fun day. The girls played with the neighbors outside for a little bit after school. Then we spent the day inside doing crafts. I made manicotti for supper. We baked cookies. I met the neighbor outside for a yummy winter cocktail. I shoveled... it was a great snow day!
