Day 4 of a LONG weekend

Both kids were off for the past four days, Friday-Monday, for the traditional January Teacher Workdays. When the FCPS (Fairfax County Public Schools) are out, the preschool follows suit. These days it is always a challenge keeping two children entertained and out of each other's hair. They are at a stage, or age, or both, where referreeing is my #1 job of the day. So...this is what we did:

• Finally visited the Fractured Prune Donut Shop (nothing like homemade donuts to order like O.C Sand, Pebble Beach, and Carnival--to get your sugar high rollin')
• Went to Eggspectation for breakfast
• Went bowling
• Played some board games
• Hibernated from the cold, then played in the snow
• Practiced multiplication times tables
• Made homemade valentines.....yes, we are getting started already because it takes awhile with two kids
• Had a playdate with a longtime friend and fellow soccer player of Jensyn's
• Went to lunch at Red Robin......Ry seems to really like that place---don't know which is more appealing, the balloons or the milkshakes
• Bought and played more Wii games
• Played cards---it's becoming more fun now that Ry can play and participate with understanding

I am now enjoying some down time and making a To Do List for the week. We've got two more storms and possible snow accumulation again so I had better plan ahead!
