Snow Days, Fun Days February 2011 ...

So, we've had some crazy blizzard weather this week which means the boys pre-school is closed. Although this causes some schedule difficulties at work, it is so nice to have the extra time together with the kiddos! Here's a few ways we've been spending our time together ....


Snuggles with dad before he heads out to snowblow ... can you tell Corey's excited to get out in the cold?

Time to get our bodies warm ... Riley is a great yoga partner = )

Gage's request for breakfast ...
"homemade pancakes with strawberries in a circle and an ice cream mountain the middle"
The boy has good taste!

If you're interested here is the best, easiest, pancake recipe I've found:
1 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp white sugar (or splenda)
1 1/4 cups milk
1egg
3 tbsp butter, melted
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix with wire wisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat. If you use an ice cream scoop to portion the pancakes, you will get about 8-10 large super fluffy cakes. Yummo!

Here the boys are "cheers-ing" with Rileys new favorite breakfast drink recipe he came up with all by himself:
Red G2 gatorade + Milk + Chocolate Syrup
Not my favorite, but the kiddos sure think it is the bomb-diggity!

After getting all sugared up at breakfast, it's time for a little play in the tunnel.
Gage calls this his "cocoon." = )

A costume change for this wild boy. Time for his "cozy Papa shirt!"

 Then it was on to some craft time. Riley constructed these cool pipe cleaner glasses.

Gage's turn to try them out ... he calls them Ben10 glasses because of the colors.
He says they give him powers = )

Finally, it's mommy's turn to model. Yep, I'm stylin'!

Well,  now it's on to our next adventures. Hope you all are having fun, too!
