Things....



Here's an update on what's been going on here!!!  Well, much to Carter's dismay, the snow has melted!!!!  He was so mad when the sun came out and the snow started to disappear!!!  But, I think that he gets that it will eventually return, and he will again be able to go out and play!

We are getting ready for a few days off from school.  Carter's class has a Thanksgiving feast today and he was excited.  He said, "First the feast, and then 5 days off of school!"  Not sure what he was more excited about!!!

The girls are doing CRAZY art projects, their poor teacher gets something brought to her almost everyday!  And Annabelle has a new found interest in Sesame Street, only because Cooper has been watching it, and she realized that Oscar says things, like "Scram!" and "Get lost!"  She LOVES that, perhaps because she has a little understanding of Oscar's personality!!!

Cooper is a full on Elmo addict!!!  She says "Mo mo" at least 100 times in a day.  She also loves Ernie, Big Bird, and Zoe.  She is getting ready to start school too!!!  She starts on January 5th, and is so excited (not quite more excited than I am though!!!)

Here are some pics of the kids putting their money that their Grandpa gave them, into the jar for their "Park" also know as a swing set.  Looks like by Spring they will have enough to buy the "Park!"

Winter is here!!!







Our first snow hit on Tuesday morning, and we got a whopping 10 inches!!!!  I personally like to ease into winter, with a few flakes, and a nice 2 to 3 inches at Christmas.  But, no, it came down fast and furiously and we got about 10 inches.

The good news?  The kids LOVED it!!!  They played the last 2 days, and as it turns out, they are calling for more tonight into tomorrow!!!  Bring it on!!!

Dinner



On Saturday, we had the Barone family over for a little dinner.  The kids had a blast playing in the basement, and Carter thought it was "Awesome" when the queen size mattress that was leaning against the wall, fell to the floor and they were able to jump on it!!!

Also, I keep forgetting to post that when asked who was on the dollar bill, Annabelle said the following,

"I know, I know, Mrs. Barb told us at school, GEORGE WASHING MACHINE!!!"

That child is too much, she's ALWAYS saying the funniest things!!!  She said in the car yesterday, "Mommy, it snows in the wintertime, CORRECT?"  What 3 year old uses the word correct?  Again, she's just too much!!!

Beautiful Day!



Today was such a nice day, after going out for lunch at Red Robin, we took a "nature" walk in our yard.  So, it wasn't that long of a walk, but for the little ones, it may have seemed that way!  I guessed it was going to be one of the last nice days, so I took some pictures!!
