Still at Home

School has been canceled for the rest of the week.  I believe the main roads are pretty good but the neighborhoods aren't great.  Most neighborhoods don't get plowed so there is an inch or two of solid ice covered with an inch of snow.

So far we haven't tried getting out.  So we've been finding things to do around the house.

On Tuesday we made cookies.  Unfortunately I only had one stick of butter (we just don't use regular butter often so I don't usually have much).  The boys were able to make one cookie sheet each though.

Yesterday I blew the air mattress up and set it up in the bonus room for movie time.

Eventually the air mattress became part of a fort.

Carter has been very studious the last couple of days.  On Tuesday he learned how to count coins and yesterday he learned to read a clock.  He then did a bunch of math tests for school on the computer for those topics (as well as other basic math concepts).

When Grayson got up from a nap, Carter wanted to read books to him.  Grayson actually really seems to like being read too (just like Carter did when he was a baby - Rylan did not).
