while on lockdown with the inmates...

We are on our 3rd snow day now {we will see if another one is called tomorrow} and with all this "free" time stuck inside, it's time to get creative or the inmates {they are kind of cute inmates at least} get restless.  I think we have about exhausted all the "snow" play activities.  I mean we did build an igloo.  Ryan even attempted to bury Avery in the snow over the weekend...

I don't think this is as fun in the snow as it is in the sand, especially if you get snow on your face!  

With double the amount of snow over night...

It's safe to say this white stuff is going to be around for awhile...ugh!

Here's what we have been up to while on lockdown...

A little quiet time looking at the kids' own scrapbooks :).

Creating springtime placemats (I mean what else would you think about doing when there's over a foot of snow on the ground?)

{Avery's includes a little bit of summer too...ahhh sumertime...a distant memory...}

{Evan's}

Okay let me explain  this pile of stuff that's laying {yes it is currently there} at our front door...Evan apparently has a new obsession with getting a baby turtle {yes, it needs to be a baby one}.  Grandmommy  & Granddaddy said they would try to find him one when it gets warmer out.  Well this "stuff" is laying at the door for the time when that baby turtle miraculously arrives at our front door.  He says all the stuff is to decorate the baby turtles cage.  Let's not forget that there is over a foot of snow on the ground and we have a while to go before baby turtles come out...  

We also did some science experiments.

{Some "crazy mud"}

{Of course a volcano}

I swear my kids do get dressed every now and then...however it doesn't seem like is since I started this blog :).

Then why not...let's play with our food...actually Avery wanted me to take a picture of how he stuck 6 veggie sticks in his sandwich for lunch like his birthday cake...which is only 6 days away!

The princess and superheroes playing nicely together...

Finally, a game of chess!  Haha, yes that is an almost 6 year old and 4 year old playing their version of "chess"...quite entertaining, but I don't know how to play it either ;).

In the month of February Avery has been to school ONLY 10 days so far...we already know he's off school for kindergarten roundup on Thursday...so if another snow day is called tomorrow...that will be it, just 10 days.  That's crazy!  I want my routines back!!!
