RIP banjo buzz

today we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy, banjo buzz.  liver failure was taking over his body but he will always be with us in our hearts.  the pain and sadness is just too much...

puzzle

i've lost track, but i think this is the 6th 1000 piece puzzle he has completed this winter!

weekend crafts

the snowy weekend was the perfect opportunity to turn the dinning room table into a craft table. we have a puzzle, pearler beads and watercolor painting going on.

snow

the kids played in the snow until there wasn't enough left to play in anymore

snow day

we wanted a proper snow day and we got it!!!  it is crazy to think it is the middle of march and we are a week away from spring, but we got a good 4-5 inches of snow!  it snowed ALL day, and we lost power for 9 hours due to a tree that fell across the road by our mailboxes.  we watched a movie, went in the hot tub, crafted, read and the kids played in the snow for hours!  it was a perfect snow day to end the season!
