getting back to normal...

Having structure, routine, and a house full of kids is my normal.
And, boy is it good to have it back. Winter break was great. We got a lot done and spent a lot time doing things with our kids. But... they were ready to see their friends and get back to their routine as well.
After returning only 2 days, we had 2 more days off for snow days. This time around we went crazy, at least our kids did. So... today it felt good to be getting back to normal.

We are on week 2 of our winter theme. We are having great weather for this theme...
Today we made pretzel snowflakes. First we glued with pretzels down in any shape or pattern we wanted. After they dried, we painted them white and added some glitter.

We even played Ring around the "Hosie" as Kadyn likes to call it.

Our finished project of snowflakes...

We always take time to dance, wiggle and just be silly. Last week I picked up a new CD for us to listen to, the new music to Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. You would have thought I was the best provider ever for this one. They danced, jumped, used instruments, held hands, giggled smiled all while listening to our new CD.

Deep down, I think they were ready for getting back to normal too!!!
