The Sam's club near us closed down. I went back a handful of times to see the stages of it closing, and it was sad, and crazy, and sad.
If I already posted about this in the blog (I don't think I did) it is really a very upsetting event for my weekly schedule. Having to go clear to the other side of town to do my major shopping every week is not a possibility, so I'm having to rework all of my tendencies, in the middle of winter. = /
The kids really like the giant icicles.
Alice's friend Willow came to spend the night. Everyone really enjoyed having her here. = )
There was a lot of dressing up the entire time!
The snow went away for just a few days, and it was a welcome change for my little ones to go out an play, even though it was still cold!
The twins write with opposite hands. G-J
But they make me feel very loved. G-J
The puppy was getting a makeover from the twins. = ) J-G
Emily went on a field trip to the hospital. She thought it was pretty fun. = )
Alice did chores for me and Aunt Rocky, so that she could buy her new prized possession.
William looks so grown up these days! Kindergarten round up is next month, and I can see him more and more as a kindergartner! = 0
There are giant snow piles in every parking lot. This is not something they ever show in the Hollywood version of winter, so it is still surprising to me. Understandable, and logical, but surprising.
Speaking of which, it's probably why giant stores have so much extra parking in them, it's occupied by snow piles in the north. Oh, and all those road signs that say "pass with care" and "turn lane ends" are actually probably because you can't see the stripes on the road during this time of year here. FYI.
My very busy Juliet:
I was super proud of William. I helped him put 100 dots on the poster, and tape on the title, but he drew all the W's without fighting me once! He loved the stickers too. = )
The instructions for the poster were not very clear, in fact, they were just a single line on the reminder for the 100 day food item. So, when we brought William's a day early, the other moms were a bit panicked. I figured that I'd just overlooked the instructions in the weekly newsletter, but apparently that one line was the notice. It all worked out though, everyone had their 100 day things the next day. = ) This time of year is so crazy for the teachers, with 100 day celebrations, valentines, count day, parent teacher conferences, and starting to look ahead to next year!
There are nights Alice is Johnny on the spot with her homework, and nights that she would rather pout against the door than to take care of it. This was one of those times.
Avia bought Juliet a new nightgown, so she was waiting by the washer for me to clean it for her.
Did I mention that it snowed?
later days
