More Snow Days!

On Saturday we spent the morning purging some stuff to donate to the Youth Ranch, clothing mostly. We made pizza that evening, I have been trying to figure out a good recipe to use for Nico's pizza, but I haven't hit on one yet that is very appetizing for him after needing to pull out the previous crust we were using, and not being able to do tomatoes. But, I've got a good recipe I'm going to try this next Saturday for both the crust and the sauce, so hopefully we can get back on track.

We've had to become creative in how to spend our days because we ended up having 5 snow days in a row. He went back to school yesterday (Wednesday) but then had another snow day today. Jeff and Allicia have a kiln, so the kids painted some pottery one evening that was fired overnight, the next day.

On Tuesday Lexie came over to spend a few hours with us! Nico was so excited. They played games and ate lunch and watched a movie. I also gave them some henna. When Uncle Jonny came to pick Lexie up, he stayed for one game of Bird Memory.

On Wednesday night Brianna came over for dinner. She came early enough that her and I and Nico were able to play some games before dinner. Mostly the bird memory game, but also Spot It. We played the memory game after dinner as well with Guy.
