Hey Texas, we got some too!

I know that is has been a while, but 'tis the season to be BUSY! Last weekend we got over a foot of snow and David had to cancel church. Today we have gotten about 8 more inches and are expecting another foot by tomorrow night. I have shoveled twice today. It is going to be a very white Christmas, which is better than last year. Enjoy the pictures.

When did he get so smart?

Today after work I was sitting and relaxing and the kids were playing around me. Ben loves to jump on EVERYTHING, especially my couches, and was doing just that. His new thing is StarWars and he loves everything that has to do with it. He watches at least one episode every day with the Mal one as his favorite. He has 2 lightsabors, one red and one blue so that there can be a good guy and a bad guy. While he was jumping, he hit me with one of his sabors. I promply took them both away and put them on time out. When Ben complained, I reminded him that we do not hit people with the lighsabors. He then proceeded to tell me that he didn't hit me with the blue one! That boy is just too smart. I really don't know how anyone can put up with more than 1 boy.

Fall Fun

Saturday we raked the leaves and took a few pictures before bagging them up. Enjoy.

Halloween Party

We went to a church Halloween party on Saturday and here are the pictures. Rachel is Hermione, Christine a baby, Sarah an Ewok, Ben is our knight in shining armor and Cari is Violet Incredible. We had a lot of fun.

Quilt Square

I just finished a quilt square and am very excited about it. It is for a quilt for my Grandparents that my aunt is putting together. We were to make a square that represents us. I decided to do a drug theme. David and I are the bottle and the kids are various anti-depressants. Sarah is a Valium (if you have ever met Sarah, you would know why:) Mom, I will drop it in the mail ASAP.

Kids

Today Ben informed me that I was "ruining his life." Yes, he is only 3. I guess he listens to his sisters when they are sassy to me. The teenage years are going to be ugly! I gave him his "best day ever" when I let him go to his friend's house while I took Caroline in to JC Penny to get her pictures taken. She did really well and smiled and listened to direction. All her pictures turned out so cute. She wore a brown and pink dress that Marisa Hill gave her. I will try to post them when they come back. Back to laundry.

Daddy's girl

Here is Christine's new favorite place to read. She is perched on the new deck that David built in the front yard. It won't be long now until she will be moving her reading indoors.





We had Sarah's soccer party at McD last week. She received a medal for all the hard work. As her coach, I think that it is I that deserved the medal! It was fun, but lots of drama. I will be coaching Ben next year.
