Snowy Days





We finally got snow!! Although not as much as Utah, but at least we got to play in it, instead of it just being freezing cold outside! Max isn't a fan of the snow, but Caleb played all morning with the neighbors on their slide, making forts, AND we can't leave out playing baseball on the Wii (however you spell it). He loves being with the older kids.
Mostly we've been playing lots of games like "Go Fish", "Chutes and Ladders", "Old Maid", etc. Caleb and I even play a from of Blokus. :) A couple days ago he had so much energy I thought he would explode, so I told him to go downstairs, run around the couch 10 times and jump up and down 10 times while counting really loud. It worked great!! They really love going to watch Mike play volleyball. They run around the gym the whole time playing soccer, volleyball, and basketball. And it's always fun to have daddy around more! I know that won't last much longer.
We also started our painting project!! I thought it would be a good idea to let the kids help for a minute...and a minute was about all they were good for! Mike thought it was a horrible idea. Caleb actually did pretty well after we set up some "painting rules". I'll post pics of the final product when it's finished.

My kids have so much fun playing in the snow. We could also share some of our snow with you. We have had church canceled once and school canceled twice because of the snow. I am a little sick of it now, but it is still fun to play in!
