Crazy January Weather

I just realized as I was uploading the pictures that within the past 5 days we have a cancelled day of school for ice/snow and yet also had 65-70 degree weather were we have gone to the park twice. 
Friday I woke up to pre-school being cancelled due to ice/snow.  However, we did not see any snow at our house so I had to get creative.  We played school at home instead of going to school.  Fun for Summer but a good reminder for Mama that I am not interested in homeschooling.
Craft time making Snowmen.
Summer got our snacks and set the table all by herself! 
Hmm, what next...ok how about computer time.  Proud to say she typed her name over and over until she was able to do it by herself. 
Zane napped most of our "school day" but then he was up to join in on the learning. 
Creativity rolled into the weekend where we made a charm bracelet out of paper-interesting! 
Today Zane was able to enjoy his very first TEA PARTY with big sister.  He loved the crackers and sitting in a big chair.   
He even helped Summer wash dishes in her kitchen.  Neat to see him standing and being able to play. 
And we had a wonderful time getting fresh air at the park today.  Riding bikes, running into friends and having a picnic puts a smile on this girl's face. 
And wow, Zane really loves riding in the stroller watching big sis on her bike.  He even laughed a few times out of joy. 
I have started not forcing Summer to take a nap as it is starting to interfere with nightime sleep.  Today she hung in there as long as possible until I caught her resting in the clothes basket with a pillow and blanket somehow inside Zane's little playhouse, watching cartoons.  She was almost asleep when I snapped this photo.

Those pictures are WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, but I love your words, too!
Can't believe how Zane is growing.
