Probably The Last Snow Day



Here's Ryan enjoying the snow while we waited for Evie and Stew to come out of school. 

 Stew flew head first off of his sled.  I thought it was pretty funny.

These two can be best of friends... sometimes.  And I stress the sometimes.  :)



TOP 5

1.  Loved the snow last week, but thoroughly enjoying the sunny days lately.
2.  Evie is almost finished with PAWS testing.  I feel like they have some big test with a different name every month.
3. Ryan and his stories lately, he comes up with the craziest story lines.  Stewart claims it's because he's a lefty.
4. Finally getting Evie and Stew signed up for swim lessons up at the college.  They start next week and go till May.  I'm determined that they can swim well before our pool opens.
5. "Ross" just opened this weekend at what we call a mall.  It's a big deal around here.  We'll take any new store we can get.

BOTTOM 5

1. Daylight Savings.  I'm having a hard time adjusting.  The kids seem to be fine.
2. Throwing a frisbee in the house and hitting Evie's very full blue slushee.  It was everywhere.  I don't know who was more bummed, Evie or myself, as I cleaned up the mess I made.
3. McDonald's toys. 
4. Buying a bunch of oranges that I hand picked.  They weren't that great.
5.  My coat still smells like cleaning supplies from Stew's kindergarten classroom.  I made the mistake of putting it on the floor by the coat rack the last time I volunteered.

Polar Bear Room

Our life has been pretty boring lately, not too much going on.  Which is just fine by me.  But the poor kids apparently are starved for something fun because you wouldn't believe how excited they were about their trip to the pediatricians office and getting to go into the "Polar Bear" room.





They climbed all over that polar bear before the doctor came in.  Evie was sad because she didn't get to go.  I'm afraid she might come up with something wrong, just so she gets to go into one of their fun rooms.  



TOP 5

1.  It's snowing today.  We haven't had a good snow since Christmas. 
2.  I reread the book  "Blackmoore".  I really loved it this time around.  For some reason I only "liked" it the first time.
3.  I downloaded an earthquake app that shows the latest earthquakes around the world.  It's super fascinating. I have mine set for 3.0 and above.  Oklahoma has almost daily earthquakes.  Who knew?  And Lakeview, OR has been really popular too.  
4. Survivor and Amazing Race.  Oh, the characters this time around.  Love it.
5. Finally registering our car here and getting WY plates.  And there was no line at the county building when Ryan and I went.  I love small towns. 

BOTTOM 5

1.  At 7pm Sunday night looking down at the top I wore to church and realizing it was inside out.  :( 
2. Evie still has a plugged tear duct. 
3. Taco soup.  We've had it several times this past month and it is now dead to me.
4. We have had to change every single light bulb in our apartment since we moved in.  And a few are going on second changes.  What's the deal?
5. Ryan is always walking around with one sock on and I can never find where the other one has gone.
