Snow Day and a Few Polka Dots!

We woke up to more snow than we've had in one day in years!  All the schools are closed, so the kids are having a great day playing with their neighbor friends! (and I've been sneaking in a little painting! :)  )

The girls love to dress up and change outfits about a million times.  Here they are in their pajama ensembles!

Some time back I found this great chalkboard at the thrift store.  I've been wanting to cuten it up by adding my favortive~ polka dots!  I grabbed one of the kids' round wooden blocks and dipped it in some pretty red paint. 
       
                                  I filled the polka dots in where needed with a little paintbrush. 

                                     Now we are using it for our countdown to Christmas! 
(Yes, the crooked writing DOES bug me, but I am not redoing it~ I always try to remember the Nester's words, "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful!"  That little quote saves me alot of time!)  :)

Jealous! That's one thing us California folk don't know much about - snow days. I am a true beach girl, but being warm and cozy with my fam when it's all white and sparkly outside sure does sound dreamy :)

How fun! I want come play in the snow. It's cold enough here but no white stuff, yet. The girls are so cute in their P.J's! What a sweet post! Love the polka dots!

Happy snow day!
