Sunday I took Joshua to the doctor because his cough was getting worse. He has a touch of bronchitis so he is now on antibiotics. On our way back to the RV we stopped at the Best Western in Goshen and checked in for the work week. Since we were going to be at the hotel until Thursday I chose the crafts to take with us based on what wouldn’t take a lot of room or time. It was so late on Sunday by the time we finally got settled that we chose to do two crafts on Monday. On Monday the weather warmed up a little and because of that the dry snow that was on the ground started melting enough that it was sticking together so…. the kids finally got to do the “snowman” craft. This was my first snowman as well so it was a lot of fun. My family spent a Christmas in the Poconos visiting my grandparents one year but the snow wouldn’t cooperate. My brother and I made a snow sculpture on the porch of a snowman laying down next to a boombox. We titled it “Florida Snowman on Vacation”. It was an experience getting to make a snowman that stood up this time. Here are pictures of the snowman project. Nathan kept himself busy throwing snowballs at me as you can see one in the air in one of the pictures. :)

The kids were still in Disney mode I guess because they decided the snowman needed Mickey ears. Samantha finished it off with a Mountain Dew can she found as a bow so she decided it was Minnie.

When we came back in the room we finished the day off with making mosaic ornaments, essentially sticking jeweled stickers on ornaments. :)

Today we spent time checking out the RV progress. The floor is torn out and the tiles should be finished early tomorrow. They are hoping to have everything finished by next Monday or Tuesday. We misunderstood the cabinetry. We will take the RV by on Thursday afternoon so he can take measurements than he will spend a few days making what he needs to make. We will take it back to him next week when Newmar is finished so he can install the new bed. Hopefully everything will be finished before Christmas so we don’t have to come back in January. If not we are already scheduled for the first week of January at Newmar to finish what we want to have done. Although we have stopped in Monday and Tuesday I didn’t think to take pictures. I will try to remember to take some pictures tomorrow.
