A Snow Day!

Man I love snow days!  I love staying in my comfy clothes!  Taking the kids outside - who am I kidding - the big kids hate it b/c they have to help shovel - but man the little one loves to play in the snow!  He love the cold, the wind, the rolling, the throwing....

 

I love snow days!!!

 

I think God knew I needed one today too.... he saw my struggles and thought I needed a day of rest. 

 

I am going to work on loading some photos, enjoying my family, packing a few more boxes, finishing the basement floor plan and some good ol' fashioned chilling on the couch!  I plan to drink hot chocolate with my kids, give a few extra hugs and hopefully figure out this daycare/preschool/kindergarten situation out. 

 

I also plan to take all the kids old clothes and start the selling process.... a little extra cash never hurt anyone right? :)

 

Happy Snow Day everyone! 

This one's for you sis!

A nice family picture....

 

 

Then ...

 

A family picture with a bit of crazy on the side!

 

We apparently all like to have our mouths open and tongue sticking out. 

 

Guess that is Genetic?

 

Love ya!

 

(Hey - you asked for a blog update right sis?)

Winter

 

My "drive" for photos is not even close to full.... so I am gonna give this a try - again!

Our winter has been exceptionally busy!

Shawn played basketball for school - everyday from 4 - 5:30.

Chris has been wrestling on all 3 wrestling teams - Freshman, JV and Varsity (only 1x)

Isaac has been a TROOPER - he goes everywhere with us!

We also prepped for the Children's program at Church so our Wednesdays and Sundays have been busy with that!

 

Chad is working 3 - 11 so this momma is ready to crash every night by 10 at the latest!

 

 

 

November...1

Wow - November came and went! 

I am out of storage space on this blog.... HELP!!!  I don't want to buy a monthly plan but I want to keep my blog - who can help me?  Suggestions?  Ways to be able to load photos? 

I don't want to lose any photos or delete photos - I am sad!

Happy Halloween

 The boys - Chris didn't want to dress up this year.

But Chad did....

 He's a REPLACEMENT REF!  

Guessing his call was a bad one...

Replacement Ref Copy "Cat"

He'll be so sad to not get to wear "make-up" on his face!

Trick-Or-Treating at the Stough's house

The Family on Halloween.

Cat in the Hat Part 1

Cat in the Hat - Inspired by Grandma and Grandpa's hat

 On Sunday - We got to do afternoon trick or treating at the outdoor mall with our friends Z and Malachi. 

Batman, Cat in the Hat and the Princess saved the day!

 We also took a hayrack ride - around the mall.... on benches.  No hay to be found....

 We even found Isaac's Halloween Family.... the Big Cat and Thing 1 and Thing 2..... 

He Loved It!

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Carving 2012

Isaac and I carved a pumpkin after work on Tuesday. 

He wanted a star for the top so we traced it and cut it.

 Then he pulled the lid off.

 and showed me the guts!

Next was the scooping part. 

He wasn't too worried at first....

 But man did he get grossed out when it got on his hands.

 So we went back to scooping with a spoon.

Love this.... Checking out the seed on his hand

See my Jack-O-Lantern!
