Sandidge Snow Camp

School was closed again today due to the snow, so we had Sandidge Snow Camp today.

Having the morning snack before "school"
Reagan was eager to get to work
Cooper skipped school and headed upstairs to play

Reagan is learning so much. She can read all of her colors and put the right color with it!
working hard
Cooper must have gotten lonely because he brought some of his toys downstairs to be near us.
Then, it was time for "recess". We went outside and played in the snow. Cooper brought some dinosaurs to play in the snow with him.
Reagan thought that was a great idea
this boy loves to throw snowballs!

Look at the joy on his face!


Reagan had a great time too, although she asked me to "stop taking her picture"
Time to go sledding
Cooper discovered his love of sledding today.
Cooper, Reagan and I all went on the sled together. (Just a self portrait before the slide, Greg was at work again today. Reagan told him he was missing out on a fun day!)
They had a great time sledding together

Let's do it again!
Cooper used his dinosaur's tail as a spoon and scooped up some more ice cream to eat!
(almost) a family portrait
Reagan went inside, but Cooper and his new love of sledding stayed out for more!
He even braved the sled by himself
Whee!
We came back in for lunch, and a certain little boy got comfortable on the couch. Playing in the snow is a lot of exercise. Especially when you climb the hill as many times as he did today!
Lunch time in the "cafeteria"
Instead of dinner and a movie, they had lunch and a cartoon!
After a nap for Cooper and quite play for Reagan, we had a tea party ~ complete with m&ms and gummies for snack.

Enjoying a little snack
It's seems strange to have a tea party without Gigi!

Cheers!

Such cute kids!
For our final activity of the day, we made brownies!

Cooper helped mix the batter. Reagan supervised

Reagan had to make sure it was mixed properly

We had a great day ~ but I'm almost out of activities. What will we do tomorrow?

Snow Play

School's out today for snow ~ we had about 5 inches fall overnight and this morning. We took full advantage of the day together (minus Greg, he crazily braved the snow and went to work).

the view from our front door

Let's play

Reagan getting ready to sled down the driveway

trying to catch snow on her tongue
Cooper tried too


a snowball fight broke out!
Cooper tasted the snow

Reagan made a snow angel (or 4)

We had so much fun playing in the snow
I was trying to take their picture and they attacked me with snowballs

We went back inside and built a fort to keep us warm
We ate lunch in the fort

We "roasted" marshmallows in the fort
putting the marshmallows over the "fire"
Yummy!
mmm!
This boy is so goofy~but I love him!
