Okay, my wedding day and the days that the monkeys were born are probably the best days ever, but today was right up there.
We woke to snow on the ground.
Tiny and I enjoyed a quiet breakfast, watching the snow fall.
Once the big monkeys were up, they suited up and headed right outside while Real Man took care of the driveway.
While they were out there, Tiny played with toys in the living room, while I sat on the couch with my book and had second breakfast.
Tiny decided to watch his siblings outside.
Which was, apparently, exhausting.
The big kids came in for some Spaghettio’s…a snow day favorite.
While Real Man and I had fried egg sandwiches.
The monkeys headed back outside after lunch.
I played a little piano, and found I had an audience from the other room (with some help from Real Man).
Then, Monkey Girl came in and decided to play.
I baked some brownies.
Monkey Girl baked her first batch of chocolate chip cookies on her own.
And learned a valuable lesson about how unevenly our oven bakes things.
Real Man and Monkey Girl went to the Girl Scout Father/Daughter Hoe Down.
The monkey big boys played on the computer.
Tiny played with his kitchen.
And Mama played some Wii Glee Karaoke.
After Tiny went to bed, Monkey in the Middle “taught” Baby Monkey how to play chess, I played some Words With Friends, and we chilled until my girl and my man came home.
It was truly a great day and left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
I got none of the things I wanted to get done accomplished, but somehow, I just don’t care.
I love these kind of days!

Lovely and laid back! I especially love the shot of the littlest one watching out the door. So cute!
