Another Snow Day

Today we were snowed in like a lot of people were and so we tried to entertain ourselves the best we could. The girls wanted to go outside and play in the snow, but we decided it was too cold so we brought the snow INSIDE. We brought in a bucket of snow and Ashlyn made her own little snowman in the kitchen while Breckyn had a bowl of her own snow to play with. The snow didn't last long inside the house so Ashlyn sat her snowman out on the deck. We then made some ice cream with Ashlyn's DQ Blizzard Maker she got for Christmas from Grandma Rhonda and Pepa. It turned out really good! Also, Ashlyn and I made her project she had to do for the "100th day of school" that will be this Thursday. Her teacher asked the students to make a t-shirt with 100 things on it, so we did polka-dots. We grouped each color in 10's. Ashlyn did a good job counting each dot to make sure she got 100 on there. Here's some pictures from our day.

Daddy reading to Ashlyn her chapter book for school. We have to read a chapter every evening.


Ashlyn was chosen to be "student ambassador" for her kindergarten class. She was chosen for the spring semester based on leadership skills, responsibility, good academic standing, and good social skills. Her job will be to help new students who come to their classroom and represent her class. She also gets to each lunch with her school counselor and the other student ambassadors once in awhile, so she's happy about that!
