Ready?? Go!!

There is something about playing a game that just bonds people together.
I LOVE playing games with my kids.
We laugh so hard.
The other night Caroline and I went to a game night and we played Scattergories . . . I used to play this game yeeeeaaaars ago.

I had forgotten about it really.

Now the kids and I are hooked.

Anyone want to come and play with us??

Just for fun . . . your letter is "S" . ..  GO!

Blizzard of 2011

I woke up this morning and this is what I saw outside my dining room window.
uh oh.

This is what I saw outside the garage door.
uh oh.

This is what I saw outside the back door of the garage.
uh oh.

The kids had a blast in the snow . . . it was soooo deep.

Ummmm . . . where did our pool go??

The task of shoveling (no, we do not own a snowblower) seemed very daunting, but we managed to clear it up within a couple of hours. 
I have received several compliments about my husband's beautiful snowpants . . . he said he just didn't want to get lost in all that white snow!)

Luke helped shovel.

Jake was one happy guy since there was no school.

Caroline was pretty happy, too.

Luke was just happy to be with Jake and Caroline.
:)

When the kids weren't outside, they were in playing Wii.

And eating cookies!!

We are so excited because we found out that tomorrow is also a
SNOW DAY!

Three Sickos

I had three sick kids at home today.
:(


It wasn't so bad . . .
We watched a lot of this,

. . .  and these. (Have you watched any of these DVDs yet?? If not, do!! They are FAN-TAST-IC!) 

We played with a lot of these. . . I was getting way too involved with these, actually.  I knew it was time to move on to something else when I found myself yelling at telling Luke to not touch what I was making because it might fall apart.  Hello!!

Oh, and we drank some of this.  Usually, you would not find pop (they call it soda around here) in our house, but I was so excited when I saw this kind at the store . . . NO High Fructose Corn Syrup!! Finally!  If they can do it, all pop companies can.
