Here is the snowmen they built. They are so excited about the snow. We were kind of excited also as it meant a day off for us - snow day!!! We have 3 built into our school year so we have started using them. It has stopped snowing now - didn't get as much as predicted. I had all kinds of plans for the day - like cleaning cupboards, sorting out book shelves, sorting and organizing toys - maybe getting rid of some, pay bills and bookwork, cleaning drawers, or maybe just wrapping up in blanket with hot cocoa and a good book!!! What would you choose to do?? Well, we did get the book shelf cleaned and organized. We actually sat on the floor and I even had to read the kids some books - Shoes for Angela, The Orange Scarf, Duck Rides Bike. I didn't even know we had a book called Shoes for Angela - it was so Angela!!!
Yesterday was Angela's 15th birthday. She chose lasangne for her birthday supper and she made an ice cream cake. She actually thinks she shouldn't have to work today since it is so close to her birthday!!
We had a wonderful trip to Montana for Thanksgiving. We were all together at Keith and Cyndees. Ed, Duane, Janette, Dale, Bonnie, Gerry and Kay all came over from Kalispell. Also had some WI family there - Dale, Joy, Steve and Dana were at Brian and Becky's. We had lots of good food and laughs. We really enjoyed the Green Goddess salad dressing - thanks to Dale and Bonnie!!! We celebrated Keith's 50th birthday with a candy bar poster, a "fill in the blank" story about Keith, bag of 50 gifts and "old people" bingo. Some dressed up as old people while some of us chose to look "young" instead of old!! Not sure if it really worked or not!!
On the way home we took a little detour through Wolf Point so we could see Aunt Ruth. Was special to have a little visit with her. Bonnie and I had also gone into Lewistown to see Mildred Myers, who since then has passed away. Was glad to see her again.
This should be long enough for this time. We are looking forward to Christmas vacation from school - we get 2 full weeks off this year. No plans to go anyplace so maybe I can get some of my projects done then. So, I won't do them all today. Ha Ha
