I slept until almost 9am.  I went downstairs and GGM gave me frozen raisin bread and milk for breakfast.  That was what I wanted.   Barbara thought she heard my voice so she came looking for me.  I was not in bed... I was sitting at the breakfast table with GGM.  She asked me if I had told GGM what we were doing this morning.  I had.  We discussed what we could do with Anthony and Alyssa that would be mostly quiet.  We can color, play a board game, build with Tinker Toys, and other building sets.  We could play outside some, but it is going to stay cold all day.  I got dressed and brushed my teeth and washed my little bit dirty face so I would be ready for company. 

Mr Mark had to go into work for a couple of hours (as it turns out all day), so we agreed to babysit Anthony and Alyssa starting at ten o'clock. 

At 9:50am I put on a heavy coat and walked to see if the kids were ready to come to my house.  At 10a we walked back.

The first thing we did was draw.  Then Alyssa quit drawing to play with my tool kit.  We played a card matching game,...

... then with Tinker toys, ...

...then outside to drive the remote control cars around tracks we drew with sidewalk chalk.
We watched a few minutes of a Frosty the Snowman movie while eating popcorn (gift from Mimz.)

For lunch we had taco soup (again), chips, milk, and ice cream.  We played football and tag outside.  It was cold but we didn't mind. 

Inside we played with action figures.  We were very good most all of the day, mostly because Barbara was there supervising us all the time.  At 1pm, A & A mom's came home, so we went over there for an hour, then we came back to my house until 5pm.  We played Old Maid and had so much fun the first game when Anthony was the Old Maid. The second game I got mad and the game ended.  I need to learn to be a better sport.

GGM made some sugar cookies, so we snacked on those.  We next played with my Hot Wheel cars.  Anthony and I went outside and rough housed.  Alyssa stayed inside to play with Barbara.

The hardest thing is for us to be quiet while inside.  GGF is bothered by our loud talk and boisterous play. 

At 5pm we went over to Anthony's and started watching the movie Jurassic Park.  Barbara was concerned that it would be too scary, but it was not scary to me.

Mimz has all of her Christmas decorations boxed.  Daddy will help her store them away.

Barbara and GGF went to Papa Murphy's to get five pizzas for Brenda for New Years and after.  She had a 50 percent off coupon.  They had them all double wrapped and then they froze them all. 

Uncle Scott and his family are stuck in Amarillo because of the snow.  There were tornadoes in Oklahoma and Texas during the night and now cold weather and snow.
