Snow days in Bellevue....

Well, we just survived a week of fabulous snow here in Bellevue!  School was closed for three days, and we were homebound for most of that time.   I spent a lot of time doing crafts with the girls, plus baking, playing games, and more.  It was a nice relaxing time... and we even got in some sledding.  Good thing Santa brought those snow boots!

The first morning with snow.... we made snowman pancakes!  The world would be a better place if we all wore BACON scarves!





Day 1:  Homemade English muffins.  Yum!

Day 2:  Homemade Naan bread... I was Hailey's helper..

Naan.  Yummy with tzatiki sauce...


A good craft activity:  Painting Chalkboard paint onto glass vases.  We did have to make an emergency run to Home Depot for our paint supplies!

We painted three coats of the chalkboard paint onto the vases...

And then we used our chalkboard pens to write out erasable messages on the vases!


Mommy actually purchased Fruit Loops!  But we had to use them in this craft... not in our breakfast bowls!  Bummer!

Our best craft of the week:  Popsicle stick puzzles!  Glue a picture to popsicle sticks and then cut with an exacto knife.  Kids loved it.

Using the new sleds and snow boots!


Of course, the best indoor activity of all is dressing up as a princess!  Greta wears this Tinkerbell dress 24/7!
