"Ice" Day .....

Freezing rain shut down all the schools in the cowichan valley today.....and i wished that I had checked the websites before i woke my kids up out of their coma sleeps to get them ready for the bus!

Thankfully Rachel is here and entertained them while i went back to sleep for just a little while!  So....we had a busy morning together.

We made playdoh......lots of salt goes into playdoh.




 Isaac spent alot of the morning with his new potion maker from Christmas.....his favorite is making people smell his final potions - hard to believe elliot continues to be willing....sweet little brother.
 We caught a glimpse of this sight outside the kitchen window this morning....our classy dog lugged corpse bone back home....see the long bone bottom right of the picture?  The other part was in in his mouth....minutes later when i looked out again...the long bone was gone.....bleh....guess i don't need to worry about his calcium intake.
 After eating the lunch i had packed for them last night....there was a promise of popcorn and a movie upstairs.  New love is the Zalinko's popcorn maker.....every kernal pops and its fun to do on the stove!
Today we have made pizza dough, playdoh, granola bars, pasta dough (since i changed my mind on pizza tonight and will enstead make a healthy alfredo version with fresh fettucini since i have all the ingredients for that!)......fire is one and isaac and i are watching Jurrasic Park.....

Let the weekend begin....
