Snow Day

My Children haven't been to school for the last three Monday's.  The first was because it was so cold outside, the second was because of the end of the semester and Civil Rights day, and today is a Snow day.  Here are a few pictures of the lovely snow!

Jake was nice enough to go out and play with his sisters!

First band concert of the school year

Last Night was the first band concert of the school year.  They were all encouraged to dress up in their Halloween costumes.  They were also required to bring something for the bake sale to help raise money for the band.

Here are a couple of pictures!

Josh dressed up as Zorro!

This is the cake that I made for the bake sale.  I didn't know that they were having an auction along with the bake sale.  They auctioned the cake off, and someone bought it for  $15!

First Snow Fall of the Season

We had our first snow fall of the season last night, and Jena was super excited to see the snow when she got up this morning!
