Babysitting Day/ No School

It was great to have the grandkids for the day while Mommy and Daddy were at work. School has been out every day this week so far. Chanelle and Javin are a joy and we have lots of fun. Too bad grandpa had to work too. It wasn't long before they came up with fun things to do.

Javin insisted that he wanted to make a snowman. The snow, however, was too soft to pack for making a snowman. His solution was to make a mound of snow and just make the snowman's head. Chanelle brought her fashion design set and cut out little clothes items with provided templates.

Javin also spent time playing games on the computer. His favorite ones involve math problems.

Putting fashion aside, Chanelle made a cake in a coffee mug. We recently discovered how to make these 2 minute cakes in the microwave. Here she is showing off her Lemon cake with a Lemon glaze. Yum!

We dug out Uncle Scott's Leggos out of storage and kept up this project for quite a while.

We noticed that the snow piled on the patio table sort of look like a giant cake. So the kids decorated it with jar lids (represent giant m&ms), plastic cups, candles and bird seed (sprinkles).
