    Scott and Abby started working on a puzzle right after Christmas and they still have not finished… The kids had another snow day today. I can’t figure it out to be honest with you. The weather is great and the kids are ready to be back in school. They went to see the movie “Frozen”…

      Scott brought me flowers today. He’s such a good hubby 🙂 The girls had ANOTHER snow day today!!! I’m not sure why. The roads are clear and the temperature is a normal winter temp! They enjoyed hanging out with friends and playing in the snow.

      Since it was cold out this morning and the wind had died down, I blew some bubbles for the girls to see. My plan was to have Abby blow the bubbles for me and I would snap some photos, but it didn’t work out very well for her. Guess her little fingers didn’t like…

        I kept hearing about people blowing bubbles in the cold and watching them freeze so I had to give it a try. It was way too windy outside so I had to improvise a little bit. I ended up in the garage with one door open to get it cold enough (darn builder…

    Cold, snow, and wind. Those are the words of the day around here. Luckily, it was warm enough (18 degrees) that the kids could get outside for a little bit and enjoy the snow before the bitter cold set in. Scott went out to shovel and when I went to ask him how it was…

    I wanted to try taking an out of focus shot to see if I could make it work. I kind of like it, but then again, I’m a bit biased 🙂 Scott is building lockers for the garage and Abby helped him out this evening. He has put a lot of work into this project and…

    We have a little bit of snow in the yard and Abby wanted to play in it. She shoveled the driveway for Scott and ran around in the snow. Apparently she also stuck her head into a pile of snow… After she that, she got a bit cold and wanted to come in.

    I have to say it is a bit challenging to get a photo of Abby on the treadmill with Cooper on my hip. But, it’s all I took for the day so up on the blog it goes 🙂 Abby wanted to give the treadmill a try and she really seemed to enjoy it. Mckenzie…

    I’m starting the year off right. My goal is to run a half marathon this year and I need to get back into running if I’m going to make that happen. Thankfully we have a treadmill in the basement so I don’t have to bundle up and brave the cold. I know if I had…

    Yummy Cheerios 🙂  Cooper has never had them before today (I’m not sure why since they were a staple with the other two) and he LOVED them! I was going to clone out the dog hair on his hands, but it seems fitting to leave them. Cooper pretty much takes one bite for himself and…
