Last week was a crazy week. I had last minute things to take care of before school got out for the holidays and Jackson ended up with some strange stomach bug on Wednesday and Thursday. He was only sick until about 11:00 each day. Weird! Poor thing missed the special Polar Express day where he was going to get to wear his pajamas. (Thanks again to Aunt Jamie for those- he's just about worn them out and it's not even Christmas yet!) Then the next day was his class Christmas party. He tried to go back for the party on Thursday but made it only a few steps in the building before getting sick. I promise I am not a horrible mom- He kept everything down (except breakfast) and he and Adam were wrestling with each other Wednesday night. He returned to school on Friday, the last day before Christmas break, and only had to stay for a half day. They were calling for snow so the school system decided to close early- and it actually snowed! We got about 2-3 inches of snow and then some freezing rain. This was Adam's first snow- sort of. When it snowed earlier in the year he was sick and couldn't go out to play, so he was ready to get out there this time. He saw Seth eat some snow at the babysitter's house, so that was all he wanted to do. He kept asking to go out to eat snow. Jackson keeps guessing which day the snow will all disappear. So far his guess is for tomorrow, but I'm not so sure about that!
Adam had a little trouble walking in the snow boots. Thank goodness we found all of Jackson's old snow gear.
Making snow angels. The snow was a little icy because of the rain so it was difficult to make an impression in the snow.
Jackson's snowman. There is actually a "real" looking snowman that someone made down the street from us. It's huge and will probably be around for a while.
