Change of Plans

The weekend that Darren went ice fishing the girls and I were jammed packed. We had Tonja, Claire, Carli, and my mom on Friday through Saturday, The Blast and a movie Saturday night, then we were supposed to meet Melissa, Landon, and Peyton in Rochester Sunday through Monday to stay at the Ramada Inn and do some swimming. Of course, we were hit with another huge snowfall so our plans had to change. I talked to Melissa early Sunday morning and they had already gotten a few inches of snow. It hadn't started snowing here yet so when I talked to Jen that same morning we decided it would be much more fun if we hunkered down together for the snowfall.

The girls were just about to hop in the bathtub when Jen and Claire arrived so Claire thought she better hop in with them.
After baths we thought the girls would have fun playing out on the deck in the freshly fallen snow. Brynn and Cara thought it was a great idea, but...

Claire decided she would rather stay in where it was warm and have a snack.

After coming in from playing it was time to play a little dress up. Claire put on her favorite dress again.

There was plenty of time to play chase around the kitchen while I was trying to make dinner. The squeals were too adorable to kick them out!

After playing chase the girls thought they would get out of our hair and play upstairs for a bit. This is where Jen found them...piling all our pillows off the bed by the window to try and see the snow. Pretty creative if you ask me!

They come up with the silliest games!

Jen and Brynn put together her much beloved Dora puzzle.

All the while Cara and Claire played catch in the kitchen.

Not quite sure what they are doing here...

After the ladies put their pajamas on we made some popcorn and watched 101 Dalmations...for the second night in a row-the only movie other than Finding Nemo that we own...and Finding Nemo is too scary. (We just happened to come across these two when our video store in town was closing. Brynn was sick so I rented a couple movies for her. Since we rarely rent movies I forgot about them and they didn't get back before they closed. Oh, well!)

Mommy's girl! Don't take your eyes off the T.V. okay Brynn!

Claire loves Ollie!

Two peas in a pod...not always a good pod either :) You just never know what you'll find these two doing.

Trying out this game again.

A little late evening music. Quite the treat for Cara. Normally she is asked not to play the registers.

And brushing the teeth before bed.

I am happy to report Claire napped and slept at our house without any problems. Looks like we are in the clear for many, many more sleepovers!
