Week of Spring Break

Monday morning of Spring Break, we woke up to snow! It was very heavy snow and took down a lot of branches and one whole tree of ours. Around 9am we lost power and were told it wouldn't be back on until 11pm the next night. We were expecting Jason's family to come that afternoon to stay the night so we weren't quite sure what to do. They still came and we were thrilled to have power back on by 3:30pm that day!!!



heavy heavy snow.

Our poor tree.


Finally got to make a snowman!
Didn't think it would be in April!


Dad, take me down!


Kels loves playing with Merek's carrier and
was determined to have him sit on her lap.




On Tuesday morning, Jason's mom and sister (&Merek),
and me and the girls headed to Canton to shop IKEA!
Fun fun times!!!
Jason stayed back with his dad to finish up painting the
kitchen and dining room. (thanks Dad B!)



A few things I picked up at IKEA :)


rug for dining room
highchair (my old one worked terrible)
bib, silverware, sand toys, cups, plates, and bowls for the girls
curtains
2 clocks
framed mirrors
side table
lamp
and a few other piddly things....




Enjoying the pool.


Merek loved it!



Laughing at her sister swim.



Getting MUCH braver in the water.

I am so happy about the new high chair....that one you had you should have been able to get your money back it was so bad.
Glad you found some fun things at IKEA and it looks like everyone enjoyed the pool.
The dining room walls look great, U love the white cabinet in the corner

Oh Jen, sorry about the trees. It was nice Macey and Kels were able to play one last time in the snow, and be able to make a huge snowman, what a cute picture. Glad you found so many things at Ikea and had such a good time !
