Let it Snow!

We were so excited when it started snowing Saturday morning.

We eventually had enough to build a little mound and dig a tunnel through it.  Our neighbor friends came over and helped us build it and play in it.  They also helped us by throwing snowballs at us and all over our freshly shoveled driveway :)  My camera battery was pretty much drained when I decided to document their tunnel and them crawling through it.  It wouldn't focus or hardly take any pictures... so these are the "best" I got... boo!

The smaller kiddos fit through easier than our older neighbors, but after the smaller ones had gone through a few times the tunnel had been hollowed out enough for the bigger ones to fit through.  The tunnel is now decorated with our orange sprinkler marking flags... I guess they thought that was a good idea.

I couldn't resist taking a Christmas picture of the boys.  I promised them candy when we were done, so they actually participated really nicely.  The one below P is obviously done with my camera happiness. So we stopped and I delivered on the candy promise.

 Our stockings :)  I stole all of these ideas from Hable Construction stockings.  I'm not sure if they still sell them, but I loved them... they were about $100 each, so I made my own.

I am new to Pinterest.  This was my first idea I have made from it.  I decorated the fridge while the boys were at "school".  It was fun seeing S discover what I had done.  It was really hard not to lead him over to the fridge and show it to him, but I knew I wanted him to walk past it and stop and do a double take.  That's exactly what he did... so fun!

November 2011 happenings

Visitors!  Grandma and PawPaw came to visit.  The boys had a blast playing with them.

D had a race in November also.  We stayed at a hotel that had a mini indoor water park.  S keeps asking me when we're going to go there again.  The slide he's going down is descending from a pirate ship :)

 P kept walking around in the water doing some squat action to keep more of his body in the warm water.  The water was warm; the air in the room was a little cool.

 Our friends that journeyed to the hotel with us b/c their dad was running in the race too!
