Snow Mountian

We have this pile of snow that continues to grow as the guys are clearing the way for all of the trucks to come and go. So Caleb named the pile of snow "Snow Mountian" It is about 20 ft high and the kids are having fun sledding down it. Here is Caleb "conquering" the Mountian.

Sledding

Ryan came over today for a few hours while Allison took Jacob to the Dr. After a hearty lunch of Mac and Cheese the kids decided to go sledding. I was at ACE earlier today, and of course being out of sleds I did the next best thing. Garbage can lids.

Cleaning off the truck

The boys were wanting to help Steve this morning, so he told them to clean off the truck. here they are "working"

Let it snow let it snow

Snow is so pretty to look at when it is coming down. (Yes I know I am inside looking out and not in it) But how beautiful is God's creation

More snow fun

I could not resist taking these pictures. Jordan was sitting on the deck eating snow. He just had this look of complete concentration on his face.

Playing in the snow

Megan does not do well in the cold, so for her to actually be in it is a step in the right direction.. She decided to throw some snow at her older brother, but Caleb was not too bothered by it. And who can resist building a snow man....

Christmas Baking

Usually I spend an entire day doing all of my goodies, but this year I have broken it up over a few days. Maybe this way we will still have some left for Christmas day. I was in a delima of what to to for the day with the kids home, and I being home bound as well, I decided to make mommy's favorite goodies. Chocolate covered Ritz cracker sandwiches. The kids wanted to help so I gave them the job of making the sandwiches. They were to put Peanut Butter on a cracker and then top it off with a Ritz. They did pretty well. Caleb and I dipped them into the chocolate while Megan and Jordan napped. The mess was something else..... I am still finding PB in places I thought you could not get it there...

Fun snow days

This week had been fun for the kids as we have just a little bit snow.. I had to get a few pictures of the kids playing. Here is a before shots of how excited they were to go play. My I remind you this was at 800 in the morning... Oh well

Fun with Daddy

Tonight the kids wanted to "tustle" as Jordan would say. They got this idea, I do not know where from, but to take a flying leap off of the couch on to daddy's stomach. That did not produce enough adrenaline rush they had get a laundry basket as well, This went on for about 20 minutes or so... The good news is, no one wound up in the ER.... for the moment.

Christmas Program

We went to Caleb's Christmas program the other night and to hear him sing songs of Christmas and the true meaning just warmed my heart. It makes all of the running around I do worth it. Since Kera is in the same grade as Caleb, we had to get a picture of the two of them together.
