They have everything in common, right?! :) Well, snow days pull all randomness together....they're like an absolute WILD CARD. My girls had a snow day today....it was really just an icy road day, but whatever. Anyway, I knew Brad and I were still going to need to go to work, but Savannah is old enough now to be in charge for a while if we need to be out. The only thing I still try to help out with is making sure they have easy food to make and lots of ideas for things to do....BECAUSE "THE NATIVES" CERTAINLY GET RESTLESS....and when they are restless, for some reason, arguments result :P. That being said, I told Brad as I left for work...."they need a project today or they will totally get on each other's nerves". I had had the idea the other day to challenge them to make their own Superbowl commercials, so I told him to pass that idea along to them before he left. So, he instructed them to work on making a Doritos commercial. They were so excited to show it to me when I got home. AND, it even gives me visual evidence that they were getting along and working on something as a team :) I'm gonna try to share their videos with you...if this works, it will open a whole new world of things I can share with you....haha! Aren't you excited that I am learning how to post homemade videos?!

YEP, SNOW DAYS ARE A COMPLETE WILD CARD...LOVE THESE!
AND....One of their teachers, Mr Sharp, is an incredible book "nerd"...he claims that title for himself, I am really not calling him names. He sent out an email this morning when he found out the kids would be out of school and challenged them to read today. He also sent along a project he hash-tagged for his author and illustrator friends that shows some of their illustrations for the kids compared to the size of a quarter...http://idrawthisbig.tumblr.com/ GENIUS! I thought it would be super funny for the girls to draw a life-size Mr. Sharp today with a quarter next to it. We are going to send pics to him later....I am sure he will appreciate the weirdness.
They draw this big, Mr. Sharp!
I am thrilled my girls have been inspired to read, write, and draw by Mr. Sharp's influence.
