Here Comes Winter!

Sunday night we watched the weather forecast and they said the HIGH for Monday would be 10 degrees... yes TEN DEGREES. That's freaking cold! :) So I decided to not take the kids to the library for their usual music and movement class and we stayed home in our warm jammies all day.. until about 4:30pm when Jordan came home and the kids were so stir crazy that I couldn't take it anymore and we all got dressed and went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner. (Side note: You may ask, "What does a vegetarian eat at Chick-Fil-A?" and I will tell you.... a milkshake and fries! haha no, not the healthiest meal... but oh well!)

 This is what subzero temperatures looks like. 
 The kids love the Christmas window decorations

By Wednesday it was much warmer out (in the 30's!). So I bundled up the older kids and took them outside to make a snowman. They loved it! We built his a body and then added twigs for his arms, rocks for his eyes and a carrot for his nose... he didn't have a mouth. :) The kids keep peeking out the window to make sure he hasn't melted.

My favorite part about being a mom is making memories with my kids. I'm learning that it's not about just putting an activity in front of them and saying, "Here, go play with this for awhile." But when I get down with them and play, they love it! Christmas time is so easy to make memories, but it's about making the opportunity to do it.
