SNOW DAY!!!

Sunday night while we were asleep, our yard was getting a beautiful makeover. We woke up to about 4 inches  of snow. Doesn't snow make everything look better?

We took advantage of our "snow day" and tried to get some things done around the house. (We are coming up on 3 months in our new house and we still have quite a few projects.) We did play a little though. Here are some pics of Ethan in the snow and one VERY sad attempt at a snowman.

When we got finished playing Ethan was ready for a nap. He napped peacefully and we painted our bathroom. For those of you who don't know, our hot water heater had an accident just before Christmas and leaked through the ceiling in one of our bathrooms. This particular bathroom was not one of the projects we had at the top of our "To Do" list, but we decided to go ahead and squeeze it in. It's a pretty small bathroom, so it shouldn't take too much time or money. It is currently a work in progress, but I do plan to show some before and after pictures in a future blog titled "Bathroom on a Budget." So, be on the look out! 

To top off the wonderful day we decided to make snow ice cream. Super Easy and yummy...all you do is mix a can of sweetened condensed milk in with a big bowl of clean powdery snow. We decided to mix some M&Ms in with ours. It was kind of like an M&M Mcflurry from McDonald's. We all enjoyed making and eating it together. (Andrew enjoyed his while enjoying the big game tonight and yes, I do still have my stockings up.)

That's a wrap to a wonderful winter day. The boys are in bed now and I am up past midnight, as usual, typing my very first blog post. I do want to thank my sweet sister-in-law Erin for helping me get my family blog set up and looking all fancy. I am going to try my best to keep this thing Up-to-date! I hope that you are enjoying your week so far, snow or no snow. I know that I sure am enjoying making these special memories with my boys. The End. :)
