Sunday was scheduled to be the beginning of the super cold and sleet, but we got in a birthday party in the early afternoon while it was still just raining. Tomas was turning 4, and the boys were so happy to celebrate with him. When asked to say "Cheese", this is what we got . . .Lincoln kind of looked up to smile, Tomas busted a spit, and Beau did his happy dance. Great birthday party!
Mommy hit up the grocery stores solo for the week's groceries, and Daddy and the boys stayed warm and dry at home watching Madagascar. Beau posed for a few pictures, and he was being super silly.
We made Cheesy Chicken Rotini for dinner, and everyone loved it! We added a few steamed carrots and fresh strawberries, and the boys were eager to make happy plates. The temps were falling fast, and the rain was supposed to turn to sleet soon. We had game night . . . Minion Operation had us laughing like crazy!
The weatherman was correct with the icy forecast! We got a notification before bedtime on Sunday night that school was cancelled for Monday. We had lots of plans for our Ice Day! First up, sleeping in. The boys stayed warm in their beds before we braved the 20 degree temps to go on an ice walk around the block. We checked out the slipperiness of the sidewalks (not much), dug sticks out of the ice, and waved at cars passing super slowly. Super cuties all bundled up!
No one was too cold after the trip around the block, so we needed to check out the ice in the backyard. It wasn't too slipper, more like ice pellets not frozen together yet. A half hour was enough for them to be done in the backyard.
We had lunch then watched a movie in the playroom in a fun Ice Day fort! Movies are way more exciting in a fort . . . but let's face it, everything is way more exciting in a fort!!!!
We spent some time playing some games at the table. Beau drew some banners and practiced writing his name and our names. He's getting super good at writing his letters. Lincoln wanted to play Tic Tac Toe and Hangman - so much fun playing old school games with this Kindergartner!
Daddy worked from home for most of the day, but he made us the best dinner of rotini with his delicious meat sauce and steamed broccoli. Beau requested a dessert of homemade chocolate chip cookies topped with ice cream. This may be our fourth time to made chocolate chip cookies in less than two weeks . . . three guys at this house LOVE homemade chocolate chip cookies! Best Ice Day EVER!!!!
