{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}

{Pretty}

This was the view from my bedroom window yesterday morning.  A mild January always means a blizzard in March, right?  I feel cheated if we don't get at least a couple really good snowstorms each year.  We've had snow most of the winter, but this was the first deep covering. 

Now I feel we can legitimately move on to Spring!

Two of my kiddos particularly love to play in the snow.  Yesterday, they went back out for more 3 times!  Notice the ski mask (or whatever you call it) that Kid118 is wearing above?  That was a clearance snag from Lands End that I had stored away for next year, thinking our snow-playing time was done for the year...  We were happy to dig it out and put it to the test!!  He actually found it to be too warm...  I think that's a sign of success on the part of the manufacturer!

After roughly 6 months of rehearsals, we pulled off our 3rd Annual 'Shakespeare' production in our basement.  I use these books, which are highly abridged, kid-friendly and fun, fun, fun!!  They do contain several actual Shakespeare lines.  My older kids, and the children of 2 other families who are good friends, are the actors, set designers and costumers. 

The cast of 'Twelfth Night'

 

 

The cakes, designed and decorated by Joy, were embellished with quotes from the play.  Cast (and parent/sibling/ grandparent) parties are quite necessary and must involve cake, I do believe.
