Matthew frosting a cookie.Snow Dayor Mess Day (also my sister Holly's birthday)
Yesterday we had a blizzard -a medium sized blizzard according to Matthew-he is still holding out for a big one though. Jeff was able to make it to work but it was a snow day from school. I stayed home from work and cleaned up messes all day long. Matthew wanted to frost sugar cookies (always a messy job no matter what age you are). I cleaned up his mess when he was done and then Alex decided he wanted to do it, so then I cleaned up another mess. Later on Matthew and I decided we should make some different Christmas cookies-the cream cheese spritz kind-yep another huge mess. Matthew manage to fall off the counter and take a pan of decorated uncooked cookies with him-he was ok but you guessed it another mess. Plus Otis (the dog) must of got a couple of the uncooked cookies and threw-up twice-so I had two more messes to clean up. Then Matthew wanted a glass of juice ( have no idea why since he isn't allow to have juice because it causes instant diarhea) but he managed to drop the jug of juice in some partially set up jello which splashed all over him and the fridge-bright red jello. So Matthew got a bath and I cleaned up the mess in the fridge and the mess from him taking a bath. For some reason, this boy (who was deathly afraid of bathes when we first adopted him) thinks the tub is a pool. I also had to get Matthew dressed in snow clothes four times because it was too cold to stay out for very long. I was exhausted by the time we put the boys to bed.

Even thought the day was lots of work I am thankful for the memories we made playing in the snow and making Christmas cookies together.
Today they are back at school but it was negative 12.5 when they got on the bus. I must be a southern soul stuck in a northern climate because I just hate the cold.
