Harrison was thoroughly disappointed that he didn't have school. He was supposed to go home with a friend after school to work on a project. So when his friends' mom called and suggested that they still get together, I reluctantly said yes. Brrrrrrrr!
Mary spent the day with us as well. So I had to answer the door at 9 am. Holy cold! I ushered Mary and Amanda in the door and got that shut quickly. I got the kids all settled and went about trying to get on the couch and cuddle. No one wanted to cuddle. Upstairs. Downstairs. Playroom. Bedroom. It's amazing how busy 3 kids can be! I basically left them to their own devices for the morning and that went well. I just didn't get to sit and cuddle like I wanted. Laundry, dishes, etc...
After lunch we ran Harrison over to his friends and then stopped at the store, Michael's to pick up some puppet materials. At this point the temperature was up to -2 F with a wind chill of -20. COLD! When we got home we proceeded to make some great owl and fox puppets in the warmth of our home. Bennett also created a tree with leaves and a nest that he taped to the 'stage.' Then Bennett found me a seat and I sat through 4 riveting performances of "Fox Tries to Eat Owls Out Of Their Nest." Riveting, I tell you.
The fabulous puppeteers!
Bennett and Mary are only 4 months apart. This was their first one-on-one interaction as Harrison or someone else is always around (Mary fancies Harrison…). I was very happy and pleased to see them get along so fantastically. It was very sweet.
I had to open the door again later that afternoon to let Marc and Amanda in and then I had to open the door AGAIN to let Harrison in. COLD I tell you! Overall it was a great snow day with lovely kids. I thought I might finally get to settle in with a blanket and a book when I remembered it was Monday. Off to work I went. In the cold. Sigh...
