Snow Day

Bear had a snow day today, due to the intense rain from the night before freezing on the roads and being coated with icy snow this morning. We had a pretty good day, he's a good little buddy to have around. This morning on the cbs morning show, whatever it may be called, there was a guy talking about cool internet sites for kids, so bear was introduced to the internet today... we went to national geographic kids site and watched some animal videos, the dung beetle being the biggest hit. We also checked out Funology.com, it sounded a lot more fun than it actually was. Has a ton of cool stuff, but needs more videos to show results of experiments, i guess they count on you carrying them out to see the results, but we were too lazy. We did find some shrek recipes though, and bear decided we should make up some of our own....
We made muddy ants and worms for lunch, with hot mud and maggots (cinnamon apple sauce with raisins and cheese, with hot cocoa and marshmallows.I don't have any new pics, so i thought this might help...

Then we cleaned up and got out the clay and make some cool stuff. Bear made a mug and a couple of bionicle faces, I made a cup with a heart, another thing with a heart, a hedgehog face and a mouse. The hedgehog and the mouse are my favorites, i know this makes me a bad mom, but we're all just gonna have to deal with it, i like furry things. (willow was either napping, eating cheerios or playing duplos the whole time, for those curious souls that wnted to know what i did with the baby....right now she is crying and waiting for me to get her out of bed, she just woke up)
After this, we cleaned up the kitchen and swore to do the homework we were supposed to do yesterday, but instead, played legos on the kitchen table. (man, i hope we don't end up doing homework at breakfast again tomorrow)
And then Bear and i split, willow took a nap and bear watched a movie in his room, while i napped on the couch. The i woke up and watched Rachel Ray pound on some chicken. Tea sounds good right now, I think i'll make some...oh yeah, and get that baby.
Good thing another one i coming along so they can keep each other company.

As long as i eat excessively and high carb, no sickness with this one. lots of pasta and bread and butter. So far, this pregnancy is the least pukey of all...i wonder if bodies just get used to such things? -dani

Congrats Danielle and John!!! I heard about your new baby coming along. Hank and I are very happy for you.

I love your blog, and like Kara said, the awesome things you do with Bear and Willow. He doesn't know that he is blessed to have you, he probably figures all moms are cool like you. Some day he will KNOW you are even more special than he thinks right now. (and I imagine he thinks your somthing else right now!!!) :)
