We Love Snow!

We are so excited to have 3 inches of snow today. I think this is the first decent snow we have had in 4 years. Really I can't believe it is in March. Usually once March comes I give up on the idea of any snow. The boys had so much fun playing in it this morning. Al even stayed home for the morning and played with them. I ventured to the mailbox, but figured Megan wouldn't care about getting in it yet. We stayed in. I know the kids will have to make this day up later from school, but it is so nice to have a break in the middle of the year. I love being able to sleep in and stay home. Now by Wednesday if we have not been anywhere I will be a bit stir crazy. However, for today we are all happy and entertained.

Our Weekend with the Doorway Climber

We had great weekend. Al cooked us breakfast on Saturday. He does this every Saturday. It is not just cereal and pop-tarts. Al makes a big breakfast - sausage, biscuits, and grits. On occasion he will even make gravy. Thank you Al! Your the best Dad and husband.

We did a little shopping and went out to eat lunch on Saturday. Then Saturday night, Ben showed how he can climb up an open doorway. Maybe this is something most kids do. His older brother, Will could not do it. Ben is so proud of his new talent. We may have to start the Blanton Family Olympics and this will be where Ben gets a medal. On Saturday we also played this kids charades game. Al had to act like a pig and I had to act out fainting. It was very funny. I highly recommend this board game. It was at Big Lots for only $9.

We got a little snow last night and today. Ben and Jack made me laugh as I watched them outside in the dusting of snow. They were playing with a neighbor and they had sleds. Our neighbor was pulling Ben in the sled. They have had lots of fun.
