Activity Alert: Pillow Forts!
Earlier this week the weather team was talking about all of this possible snow that was to fall... we came out with less than 4 inches. It was enough for Farrah to shovel at daycare (that's right... hard labor) but it was too cold to venture out by the time she came...

Activity Alert: Bringing the outside INSIDE!
The weather here has become... well... Winter! I swear I was just walking around without a coat not too long ago! But now, as the mercury drops and the daylight becomes less, we start to see our snow days pile up. In fact, Monday was a "Cold Day" for Michael as the...
