Digging Out, Pajama Day!

While Randal was busy digging us out from the snow, the girls and I stayed in and enjoyed a pajama day! We took full advantage of not having to go anywhere, Nora's doctors appointment was even rescheduled! So, we put dinner in the crock-pot so I wouldn't have to stop and cook and got busy having a day of play! We built forts, danced, played barbies, crafted, built towers, baked muffins, and so much more. Here are a few of the girls highlights...

Molly worked really hard decorating her kazoo. We found an easy tutorial on how to make kazoos at UCreate With Kids.

Then we had a ton of fun playing with them the rest of the day!

Another big hit of the day was playing with snow in the sink. After we came in from playing outside, Molly really wanted to go back out. So instead, I compromised and filled the sink with snow to play in. She thought it was the coolest thing ever, and spent almost an hour "cooking" with the snow!

I just threw a bunch of random cups, bowls, scoops and kitchen utensils in the snow, and let her get busy playing!

Nora's favorite part of the day was crawling over all the pillow mountains while we were building forts. She had more fun hiding in them, and climbing up and down, over and around!

Blizzard 2011

After 3 hours of snowblowing this morning, we still have this left at the bottom of the driveway! I'm thinking we are staying home today...

Molly was begging to go play outside all morning, so once there was a little bit of a path in the driveway, I took the girls out to get some pictures so they can remember how deep the snow was. Molly thought it was so cool that the snow went up to her eyes, lol!

Hope everyone in West Michigan is staying off the roads today!

Hot Chocolate Gift!

With the thermometer reading -15 degrees this morning, it was the perfect time to make some hot chocolate. Which reminded me of this fun gift we received. It is homemade hot chocolate in a nice disposable travel mug. It was in a clear bag tied shut with a ribbon.

Here is the fun disposable mug filled with homemade hot chocolate, you can get these by the plastic/styrofoam cups at the grocery store.

Then inside the cup in a plastic bag was the hot chocolate, so you just need to pour out the mix and add hot water. YUM!

Snow Paint!

Molly had lots of fun today painting the snow around our house. She had a spray bottle of blue and a spray bottle of red (water w/food color) to use. She had so much fun playing outside for a LONG time, and fell asleep tonight the second she hit the pillow!

We saw this fun idea over at The Idea Room, super easy and hours of fun!

Snowman Pops!

We made these fun snowman pops for a party. They were so yummy. I saw this idea and instructions over at The Idea Room, seriously, she has AMAZING ideas! I didn't get a picture of them before, so I quick snapped one before they were all gone. They didn't all look as evil as this one, heehee. Most of them I had the mini chocolate chips upside down, but in the end I just got lazy! I did end up using the oreo cakesters, since the popsicle sticks I had kept breaking the oreos.

Yummy Snowman Donuts!

I'm sure you can tell by my blog lately where my mind is.... CRAVING SWEETS! :) I saw these adorable snowman donuts over at The Creative Crate and was so excited to make them. Tonight Randal is working late, so Miss Molly and I had a girls night which was the perfect opportunity to whip these babies up. They are super easy and oh so yummy. Enjoy! ( I sure did)


How can you not love a snack that is powdered donuts and frosting... yum yum! I ran out of black coloring, so my black frosting turned out a little gray, but that just means I need to plan a trip to Hobby Lobby to restock, oh man! :)
