Snowy Weekend!

This weekend was filled with lots of snow! Friday evening the snow started and by Saturday morning there was about 5 inches on the ground. Around 8 AM we dug out the snow clothes, bundled the kids up and let the dogs make a first pass at the front yard. I think out of everyone, Ruby seemed to enjoy herself the most. She ran all over the yard and couldn't seem to get enough of the weather. Gwennie loved making tracks in the snow and kicking the bushes to see what would happen. Hudson wasn't really sure what to think but was a good sport. After the snow we headed inside for pink chocolate chip pancakes. Apparently the snow wore everyone out because the kids passed out after! Saturday night we made some pot roast and gave some pureed pot roast to Hudson and as you can see from the pictures he seemed to enjoy it.

Sunday I tried my hand at beignets from New Orleans which really just were flattnets but still tasted pretty good. The house smelled like a fryer for the rest of the day so I think we will leave it to the experts and just stick to pancakes. Sunday night we spent Valentine's day with some friends for a kid friendly pizza dinner. Today it was just me and the kiddies so we did an IKEA run and then daddy came home early so Gwennie put on her dress, shoes and jacket to help with the recycling. Next time we will remind her that her shoes should probably match and in the winter it's a good idea to throw some pants on!
