The girls and I were out of school for 2 days due to the blizzard we have been getting. I think we ended up with 8 inches of snow in just a couple of days. So, they went outside last night to work on their fort. Lily was the professional snow getter and snowball maker. Abbey and Gracie organized the fort and ended up with a pretty cool fort before the evening was over. Lots of snow angels were made and a few snowball fights. We had a great time together the last two days. Lots of movies, hot cocoa and vegetable beef soup. I got lots done -- laundry and lots of gift wrapping. We're getting closer to getting ready for Christmas.
