100th day...sort of.

Little E had his 100th day of school celebration. Well it was more like the 104th since they were out for most of last week due to snow and ice, but HEY whose counting. (Me because I can't wait for summer vacation!)

Kids who made a 100th day project got to march in the parade around the school. His project was ummm the patch on his hat. We cut out the word 100 with felt and glued it on a round piece of felt and put 100 dots with fabric paint. OKAY not creative and YES Z did the same thing last year but if it works go with it right?

I have to say I love the patch on the hat and Little E looked so cute!

The whole day was filled with crafts celebrating their 100th day my favorite part was the 100th day Crunch Munch. A trail mix filled with M&M's, white and chocolate chips, popcorn, Chex cereal, pretzels, popcorn and so much more! It was the best sweet and salty thing I've ever had. We will be making this at home!

Hmmmm that would be a fun Snowed in craft to do with the boys wouldn't it? I know they'd eat that..for sure!

How we survived!

 We were stuck inside for 4 days....4 DAYS! Boys were getting restless, mom was getting grouchy, Pop's was in heaven in his recliner! To keep cabin fever down I had to keep these boys occupied. So I popped their tent/house in the living room and they were able to play and if they were good they could sleep in there at night. So this really helped keep my sanity.

Next I came up with backyard Jello! Boys had picked out Jello that they wanted to make about 2 weeks ago. So glad we hadn't gotten to them yet because this became a fun thing for them.

Little E mixing up his Blueberry Jello.

Z mixing up his Lime Jello. I made sure to talk a bit o science while we did this, Solids, Liquids and phase changes. It may have gone in one ear and out the other, who knows!

Jello sitting covered in the backyard! Boys would go to the window every so often to check on their treats.

End result??......

YUMMY!

Iced In!!

Yesterday there was no school for the boys or I and no work for Nick. So instead of suffering indoors we got out yesterday and well we played.
Nick grabbed a nice big laundry basket and the rest was history! No casualties except for me. E came down so fast before I could think I was up in the air and down on my face. My face didn't actually hit the concrete thanks to the fact that I looked like Ralphie from A Christmas Story...we all did.

                                      Nick and I took a turn too..it was fun!

Z disappointed that he didn't knock me down! STINKER!

Today is another iced in day hope tomorrow there's school! We're all getting cabin fever!!
