We woke up this morning to snow! Everyone was so excited and could hardly wait to eat and get outside - well I didn't want to go out. I'm only fond of looking at snow - not going out in it. I like to just sit inside by the fire and look at how pretty the trees and yard look covered in white.
We don't get much snow here so today was thrilling for the kids and though I had not planned on posting again this weekend I decided I really wanted to put up some snow pictures. It was a great day!
Bethany's older sister, Emily, gave her a DIY greenhouse kit for Christmas. She started working on it a week or so ago and it is really coming along. This little greenhouse is so cute. She has to make tiny flowers, watering cans, a tiny little pencil, a birdhouse, and all kinds of little things. I'm really impressed at how nice it looks. She has worked really hard on it and says she should be finished tomorrow or Monday. She spent about three hours on it today and seems to really like doing it. Bethany is always ready for a project so this was a good choice for a Christmas gift and it is going to look really nice in her room when she is done - and it has given her hours of entertainment.
So many times during the day Bethany disappears to the library to play the piano. She started teaching herself this past fall or maybe late summer. I thought she would work on her first book for a little while and then give it up - especially since she does not have a teacher. But, she continues - teaching herself and asking me questions when she has a problem. She has actually done very well and I love to hear her play. It has been a long time since I have had piano player in the house.
Early this evening I walked by the library and there she was practicing again. For some reason it always gives me a thrill. I grabbed my camera and got this picture. I don't ever want to forget this time.
