Snow...and WAY too much of it!

For those of you who do not live near us- February was the month of snow! It lasted about 2 weeks which is almost unheard of in our part of the world! The first time it snowed Jeff still had to work so I took Naomi out. As you can see from the yard we got a little snow, but you can still see the grass. The problem with this first storm is that it was mostly ice...not good for driving! 

Thankfully I had a baby snow suit for Naomi to wear. I first put her on our deck to let her explore the snow. She loved it!



She then found a deck pillow with ice on it. She then crushed the ice...

Then she decided it looked good enough to eat!

Next she explored the grass. It was quite funny watching her try to pick stuff up in those mittens! She was determined though! She eventually picked up a snow covered pine cone and tried to eat that...see a pattern yet? :)

We didn't have any sleds-so a laundry basket had to do! It actually worked our really well because she didn't tilt back in this. As you can see from her face-she had a ball while I pulled her!



The very next week another snow storm came to visit-this one had much more snow!



Because the snow was so bad Jeff's office actually closed so we got to spend the day together!

This time Jeff did the pulling of the 'sled'. Naomi had a ton of fun being pulled and you can tell by her face!




Then I took over...for like 2 minutes and then gave up. I let her crawl around in the snow and we tried to make a snowman. She started to get tired so I only built 1/2 a snow man. That's ok though! We'll have plenty of time to build one another year :)

Happy snow day!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Christmas Parade

Because I'm a sucker for parades so we took Naomi to her first Christmas parade! It was a very nice day out! We tried Naomi's sunglasses on her...but they didn't stay on long! Every time a band passed Naomi was completely enthralled in them! Future band nerd in the making! :)

Seeing Santa

There is a fun farm in the area called Hill Ridge Farm. They have a really fun Christmas light show during this time of year. Santa is also there! We waited in line for 1 hour to see Santa! By that time Naomi was tired (it was 8:00) and ready for bed! Santa and Naomi snuggled for a little bit and Santa said thanks for giving him a break :) We definitely learned that next year we need to visit before the last weekend before Christmas! Unfortunately we didn't see the light show, maybe next year! :)
