Day before SNOW Day and Snow day!!!!

So......... I've been trying to figure out why I have so many more pictures of the kids doing math than anything else.  I've come to the conclusion that I must be worn out, my brain must be completely fried, and I just can't remember to take pictures or videos!  It's also possible that by that time of the day, I've lost my phone as well!  It's probably buried under stacks of papers and books!  Ugh!  We really do some fun reading things as well.  I'll have to try to capture some more of that in the future.

Above you see Jett, Silas, and Reed.  They worked together to complete the place value match-up game.

Murphy did the place value "Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow" match-up game.  I realize it's February, but we are studying place value now!  Okay!

Jett & Reid are posing again!

Since it's the day before the predicted snow, we had indoor recess.  The kids LOVE to play with these straws!

I love how they are working together!

These two are playing with other stuff.

Still working...........................

"Take our picture, Mrs. Ruff!"  Don't forget to say, "please"!

So.............  I mentioned how sad I was that I couldn't be with my granddaughter on her 3rd birthday.  They live in South Carolina, but they were actually skiing in Colorado with my son-in-law's family.  My daughter and two granddaughters surprised is and showed up at our house!  You already know I was praying for a TON of snow so school could close!

Here I am right after they came in our front door!  I had to grab those sweet girls and hug them!  Brynleigh is on the left.  She is 7 months old and Everly is on the right.  She just turned 3!  

Everly had to take a bubble bath.

Thank you, God, for this beautiful snow!  Now I have a whole day to spend with my family!

Since they just came from Colorado, they had all their snow clothes!  Time to go make a snowman.

Time to eat snow cream!  Yummy!  This is the first time Everly has had snow cream!  My daughter, Kara, is on the left.  

So.................  I decided NOT to go build a snowman with them because this is what happened!  Why go out in the cold snow when I could be inside by the fire snuggling with sweet baby Bryn!  Awwwww!  This is like a little slice of heaven!

This is my son, Caleb, with Everly.

This is my daughter, Kara, with my granddaughter, Everly.  

I hope you all had a wonderful snow day as well!
