Today was yet another snow day. Blah. I have given up on any thoughts of playing outdoors, building snowmen, having snowball fights, laying on the ground and making snow angels...you get the picture. All it meant to me today was I couldn't get one single thing done on my to do list and I had to ask for one more extension on a side job I've been trying to get done. Sigh.
However, on a lighter note, I actually had a couple of things planned for the kids to make the day pass a little easier! First, we made chocolate covered bananas. Yummmm...
Yay!! The chocolate covered bananas were a hit and there was way less mess than I was anticipating. It was a fun snack we will be repeating, for sure.
Moving on...after all our snacking, we needed some exercise! The kids have told me many times how much they love to do exercises. We have tried finding videos on YouTube, but they are super cheesy and we all lose interest really fast. So, anyway, we held a little gymnastics class. Pictures, of course... (guess who got a new camera this weekend??)
As you can see, headstands and somersaults were the main focus. Conner is quite good at cartwheels, but I didn't capture any of those moments! I have saved two pictures for the last...
First, Conner kept flipping too fast for me to catch him in a cool headstand, but then I actually got it and I think this is a great picture!!
Now, for the finale. Henry was cracking me up. It is hard enough to try to describe to someone HOW to do a headstand. Now, make that "someone" a 3-year old with hearing problems (genetic from his dad...I believe that call it "selective hearing"? HA)...well, I was trying. He was trying. It was very sweet. Finally, I got him to put his head on the ground and I said, "Yes! Now put your legs up in the air!" Here is what happened...
We had a great day. Here's to a great tomorrow...another. snow. day. Sigh.
Talk soon!!

This blog is a glimpse-of-love-in-the-4th-degree!
I love it. I especially like that there is adequate explanation/captions but cleverly explained by the pictures! (This is good for multiple learning styles. LOL)
xxxooo
What a lot of fun. The picture of Zoe grabbing the chocolate covered banana will come back to haunt her when she is a teenager - oh yeah, parents DO love to embarass their kids! Looks like a good time. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a fun day in your house. I have not ever thought about making chocolate covered bananas with my kids. It is the perfect combo of healthy and treat.
