pirates and snow

Tyler has been working for 2 months on his school performance
The excitement could hardly be contained when he was cast as yellow beard
in translation he mentioned it more than once!
He gave up his recess to work on his part at school
and the last week of school before break the 4th graders presented
A Pirate Christmas

Mom failed here on the beard
we tried yellow face paint
didn't work so well
Should have tried to make a beard like good old blue beard here
Oh well
Tyler loved his costume!

That night the snow began
I woke up early to check about school
first an hour delay
than a 2 hour delay 
than SNOW DAY
so our winter break began a day early
I got up and took some pictures before the kids ran through it!
It's only about 4 inches but around here that closes the town down



MOM THERE IS SNOW!!!
she did not remember the last time it snowed
that was nearly 2 years ago and she didn't like it then
She jumped back in her bed to be warm!
that was my reaction too!
Eventually they all woke up
and I told them they should go play before it melts!

 SNOW MAN!





 it had to be a girl snowman
and the beginnings of a snow fort



They borrowed some sled from the neighbor and headed to the park
it was a great kick off to our Christmas vacation!!
I will tell you the truth and tell you how grateful I was for the boys
they took such great care of Grace 
they played with her and helped her with her snowman
it was awesome!
