1st Snow Day!

We had our first "real" snow day yesterday ... though today with 12"+ of snow (and still falling), I feel like I should stay home now as well! Despite the snow and cold, Kailer made it out two different times to frolic in the backyard and let Mesa chase him around! He kept asking if he could go out and jump in the snow. Why not?! But when his little cheeks were as red as a tomato, I insisted that he call it a day. Needless to say, he was pretty sure that going out at 7:30 p.m. (in the dark) would be okay too. I convinced him otherwise, telling him that we needed his snow gear to dry by the morning so he could take it to school today. In between his playing outside, we made a little Thanksgiving decoration. I told Dan, that I now realize why the crafts that kids make fall apart so easily - Elmer's glue isn't very good. I got out the BIG GUNS and used hot glue; much easier, though not so kid friendly!


Our Thanksgiving creation - pumpkins are the kids' from school.



My two turkeys!

It's pretty cool to have a little sister, but EVEN BETTER when she's a super hero, Batman Girl!!  (Thanks Uncle Wade)
