  Awana was  cancelled due to intensely slippery roads.  We had already decided we weren't going, but that makes the kiddos feel better as now they know their not missing anything.   Its been a lazy day.  The kids have played blocks, and watched tv, and played in the skiff of snow we got.  The blocks I bought for Christmas.  They have been such a hit.  They had a huge set they used to play with a ton, but I stopped keeping it "safe".  And it disappeared.  Its worth it to keep it safe.  All of the kids (mom and dad included) have enjoyed them.  I'm actually gonna splurge and buy a second set so we will have 400 pieces total.  It comes in a zippered canvas bag which makes it nice and easy to store.   

  
  

  I'm also removing the legos from the boys room and putting them back in the living room in a plastic box.  They are just getting trashed, and their supposed to be everybodys toy.  The train table we've had the last five years is finally dying.  That is where they were stored.  We will throw it out, (the train pieces are all gone *sigh*)  And the legos can live in the living room.  Their actually neater there go figure.   And its good for the kids to have a few toys they have to "ask" to play with.

  
  

  

  
  

  Jerbud's favorite occupation of course is to knock down block towers.  We're still training him, that is not always acceptable.  Rainee has cried on several occasions when her massive towers have suffered the fate of little brother.   He's starting to learn to wait for there permission. 

  
  

  Jeremiah was quite excited this morning about the snow, and kept shining his light out the window trying to see it.  All of the kids were out in it before it was daylight.  Better them then me
