Winter is coming.
We had our first sticking snow of the season yesterday. It was melted by midday, but the kids were out and about by 7:30 yesterday morning so they could romp in the white stuff. I love how the morning light hits this photo! The first snow is always something magical and peaceful.
I actually don't mind shoveling, so you won't hear me complaining too much about winter weather other than when the roads are icy, I can't run outdoors.Ever since I got good, quality cold weather running gear, outdoor winter running has become much more enjoyable. What is your favorite outdoor winter activity?

Freebie Friday!
I have been working on a winter writing pack and wanted to share a few themed writing papers with you! Click the image below to download:
I love the images of the flying elf and snowman, from Melonheadz Illustrating and Teaching in the Tongass, respectively. They offered these amazing clip art images for free and I thought they were the perfect addition to some of my lined writing papers and would make great story starters (Where is that elf flying? How will the snowman spend his day?)! Snowflake images are my own and since I woke up to snow on the ground this morning, I thought it was fitting to add a snow page. Enjoy!

LEGO Americana Roadshow
Shel at One Sweet World had posted a few days ago about going to see this amazing exhibit at a local mall, and since my kids also love LEGOs, and we have been watching Schoolhouse Rock's "I'm Just a Bill" all week, I knew we had to go! What an amazing exhibit! Here is a collage of some of the highlights of our trip:
The Art of the Brick is also in town, but is on the pricy side for tickets. I'd love to go as a family, but between the cost of tickets and parking in Boston, and the fact that my boys are rarely happy to stay in one place for more than 90-120 minutes, I just don't know if I can justify the price! This wonderful LEGO Americana exhibit is not only educational, but free! I am planning on taking out books on some of the buildings when we next visit the library.
This one of a kind experience will celebrate and honor the history of the United States through iconic buildings and architectural structures, all of which are made entirely of LEGO® bricks. Attendees will be able to see famous landmarks such as the White House, US Capitol Building, Old North Church, Statue of Liberty and the Washington Monument reconstructed in incredible detail by LEGO® master builders.
