Sledding

Sydney stayed at mom and dad's today because school was out again and they have a good yard for sledding. She didn't want to do the big hill because there's a creek at the bottom and she was afraid she'd end up in it. But the 2 smaller hills worked out perfectly. Her and my dad had a good time.

The expressions on her face are priceless!

Now my dad gets in on the fun.

Sydney's snow angel.

Let's hope they're back in school tomorrow!

Girl Scout Overnight

This weekend, we went to a local girl scout campground for an Overnight where they can earn some patches (and have fun!) When they arrived, they realized they could run, then slide across the wood floor on their knees.

Well, this is how the sleeping arrangements started out, but by the time everyone fell asleep some had switched beds and it seemed like there was no room to walk, just mattresses everywhere!

They made their own pizzas, which was fun, and really tasty. It has inspired me to make a pizza this week.



Their was a little loft they were all fascinated with, you had to climb a ladder attached to the wall to get up there. Here are all the girls!

And we (and when I say we, I mean me) made these no sew pillows. Very cute and easy. I might move on to a blanket as my next project!

mmmmmmmm

In the morning, they had pancakes and fresh strawberries, then we cleaned up and headed home. All to take naps, since no one got much good sleep. The kids had a great time and it was a good time for the moms to bond as well.
