An Attempted Sleepover

Evelyn had her friend Ashton over on Saturday for what was intended to be a sleepover. They enjoyed playing from about 3 pm till bedtime, but, when lights-out came at around 8pm, Ashton decided he wanted to go home.

It was a good attempt anyway. We'll try again in a month or two.





Our nextdoor neighbors invited us over for their sons 1st birthday, so we made an appearance. The kids helped by opening little Wyatt's presents for him, then presenting the gift to him so he could inspect it. It worked out well. The kids were occupied, Wyatt got to see his gifts, and it was very efficient.

I enjoyed listening to Evelyn and Ashton play make believe animal doctors. They each built off each others ideas to form and grow the game. I took a video clip because I thought 'they will probably never remember playing like this'. So, now it's documented!

Great clip. Imaginations are a wonderful gift. Thanks for taking me into the mind of a child for a few minutes! So innocent and sweet.

You're not alone, Bev... We got a few inches the other day too. Enough already!

SHOCK!! Ahhhh!! Snow! It looks so cold and sad.

It looks like the kids had a great time in spite of it all!

Thank goodness, the snow melted within a day. Then it slushed for a day. Now, it's 20 degrees and sunny!
