Snow Day

It is my third furlough day of the school year and we decided to take a family day to the snow. Unfortunately, I'm suffering though the stomach flu as well, but managed to keep a smiley face.

After receiving Ariel's vanity from Uncle Fred. The girls haven't quite learned how to share and have to be divided when playing with this set.

A typical lazy day at the Nealons. It is both girls responsibility to clean up right before bedtime. I don't see why they continue to make a mess if they know they have to clean up.

Here is Tali after returning from preschool the day of her birthday.

Updating while caring for two girls is tough. They are napping now so I thought I would take advantage of the peace and quiet and update both of my blogs.

Well since my last post, Natalia has had a birthday. She is now two years old. I can't believe how time flies. She is developing quite the personality. She is very strong willed and a bit athletic. Her past times include coloring our furniture, playing with cars, and loading all the books on her book shelves onto her bed before falling asleep in the area where her pillow should be.

Gaby is doing well also. She is learning how to read predictable books (I see a ___.) and doing quite well writing her letters and spelling her name. I have been teaching her to cut with scissors and she is only allowed to use those scissors in the presence of an adult. If I remember I will post a pic of our nightly homework sessions.

All in all, all is calm in the Nealon household.
