snow dough

matt left early this morning for a business trip, but he couldn't even say good-bye to me since manning was sleeping on my face. manning loves to come in early in the morning and go back to sleep on my face. it is quite comfortable - as you might imagine. the kids all slept until 7, which is amazing! we very, very rarely get to sleep through the night as late as 7am.

since the kids had stayed up so late last night, i planned a low key day at home. to continue our frozen  fun from last night, we made snowball playdough (http://www.yellowblissroad.com/snowball-playdough-recipe-free-printable-gift-tag/). the kids really liked using the playdough to reenact the movie.

manning misunderstood and tried to eat it.

mason asked me to take this one.

manning made a "snowball."

manning was working on a miniature snowman.

madelyn made olaf.

mason made marshmallow

of course, we watched frozen again too.

for dinner we had corndog muffins. they received rave reviews! super simple too. just cornbread mix with some cut up hotdogs stirred in and baked. the kids loved them so much that maddux suggested we save one for daddy. i explained that they might not keep until daddy got home so maybe we could just send (aka text) him a picture and make them again when he is back home.

much to the kids' dismay, we did have to get dressed and head out to take madelyn to swimming lessons. we went a little early so that the boys could play off some energy after laying around most of the day. usually, matt takes madelyn to swimming so that he can run while she swims and not have to go int he morning. it also helps for him to take her since swimming goes until 8:10, which is past bedtime.  yep, i got to take all four and keep them out past bedtime after having them all up past bed time the night before.

thankfully, they all did really well and we survived the evening. love.
