joey's school

 fri morning i hooked nate up with some curling video's. we had our first curling class and i wanted him to know what it was all about...

i took the girls up for school.  now that joey has her own desk, she is super happy to sit and craft and do her own school.  she is constantly asking for my attention, probably because i sit beside ellie to do ellie's lessons.  so last fri, i took ellie and set her up at joey's desk. i had a girl on each side.  it worked well!  ill try it again this week
 so, joey cut this sheet up, colored and glued it all. by herself!  i was super impressed
 working away
joey wants to copy everything we do.  for the most part it's ok. but sometimes i do send her out to visit nate while i get some more serious work done with ellie. ha
 puzzle time.  ellie gave up, they were hard puzzles....but.....
 get this.  joey, with a little of my help, and i mean little!  did the puzzle!!!!  i was shocked.  you go girl!

crafts

 nate was gone to a class and i spent the afternoon making beads with the girls
 they did a good job, it was time consuming...which is great when the weather is not nice and you need something to do!
 after joey went to bed ellie made me a tea party.  compete with a table cover and snacks of fruit. so cute
 i found joey like this. sigh
 we battle it out every night when i tell her NO to piling the books.  when i left she had about 10 books. i came back to this!  lol.  i took them all away

 ellie was the youngest. but she held her own
 joey enjoyed watching

 sat we headed up to the land to pick up some Styrofoam and to plow out the driveway
 joey (us!) forgot her boots so she stayed in the van with me
 while we waited for the driveway to be cleared.  the older 2 went off to play in the mountains of snow
 joey discovered the mirror
 and had a GREAT time talking to herself

 cheers!
 so, for the first time in my life. i got the van stuck. the back hoe pulled us out. the hole doesnt look that bad right?!
 this is the HOLE!
 to my knees!  i was very thankful for the back hoe to get pulled out!  and we decided to spend the extra money and add a another few ft to the covert this summer....ha

the snow was so fresh and a lot of it. the weather was nice, it was a fun afternoon. so fun that chris went back last night with the kids and 3 of their friends to spend 3 hrs building a snow fort with a slide and stairs.  the kids had so  much fun.  so much they are going back out again tomorrow.  joey and i stayed home, in the warm, dry house. ha
