A day with Mommy!

Daddy went to work today, and we stayed home with Mommy.  In the morning, we did projects around the house... laundry, coloring, games. 

In the afternoon, we convinced Mommy it was a great time to test out all of our new winter toys. 

Here is how that played out, as told by Mommy:

An excerpt from an hour of my 'vacation' day with the girls.... I told the girls they could play outside after lunch. I get them outside in their track making shoes from Aunt Angie, put on my snow stuff, look out to see Brooke with no mittens on... open door to help her, dog gets away ... get Brooke's mittens on, take off snow shoes, give them new sleds from Grandma and Papa, begin chasing dog .... stop chasing dog to tell Kylie to put her boot and mittens back on, snap pictures of Brooke and Neela sledding ... back to chasing ... ten minutes later, still have not caught dog ... been in two garages and through 6-8 yards... Brooke has to go to the bathroom .. Kylie still missing boot and mittens. Get Brooke in the house, snow gear off, and Kylie redressed ... back to chasing dog ... Brooke appears pant-less in front door ... Kylie cut her finger in hard snow ... still no dog ... work calls... get pictures of Kylie and Neela, with Brooke in door in background (pulled her pants up when I got the camera )... send girls in... back to chasing dog ... almost get dog home, UPS truck appears... dog chases truck ... Brooke screaming.... check on Brooke... Brooke cannot find her sisters ... they are watching TV 20 feet away ... back to get dog... neighbors come home - Cy runs right to them (after 45 minutes of chasing a 10" white dog in snow banks).... girls said I could not leave him outside :-)

Here are the pictures of our fun... our new sleds... and sisters on "Rocket Run":

After a crazy afternoon, it was PIZZA NIGHT!  We helped Mommy make the pizza... she rolled out the dough, put on the sauce, and we added all the toppings!  They were yummy!
