snow thank you very much

sunday morning we woke up to trees covered in these very cool crystals. the streets were icy but drivable so we ventured out to church.
monday we had no school in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. so we went out to eat at one of our favorite breakfast joints. trey went off to work as the music industry never sleeps and the kids and i went out to visit our friends the nyssen family. yummy tea and snacks for the girls while the boys sat around yelling their accomplishments on their DS game systems.

today we woke to find several inches on snow all around us...AGAIN with the no school!
it was supposed to stop snowing at 10am, but here it is, 10:59 and the snow is still coming down. the kids aren't even that excited to go out in it... the novelty has worn off. i did convince them to go out and take this picture of a footprint though. i'll probably bundle us up and see if Cloud City has opened its doors. we just have to get out of this house!

This has been a crazy winter! I hope you guys got out and found something fun to do...about the coffee sleeve I just ripped open one from SB and cut fabric around it leaving a 1/2 inch seam allowance then cut a piece of batting the exact size of the SB one then stiched three sides of the fabric fliped it right side out and stuffed the batting in and then top stiched around the whole thing...then stiched it closed. I think you should try knitting one and then adding a cute button as a closure. Hope that help post a piture if you make one! and let me know if this is confusing...

geez! you make it sound so quick and easy...
the coffee shop was indeed open and the kids each brought a book to read. it was a nice trip up the street.

Wow, it looks like Michigan in those pictures. We've had some cold out here, but nothing like that. Did you see my movie picks for this year? Have you seen NOTES ON A SCANDAL or LITTLE CHILDREN?
