Snow!!!!!!!!

I got the kids a snowman making kit for Valentine's Day. They had so much fun playing with the "snow" and with all the accessories involved. Here are some pictures of them playing in the snow.

And of course, the finished project!

Toys That Scare

We were at Target today looking around. I let the kids wander around in the toy section. We were moving along and Ostin was dragging a little bit looking at the dinosaurs. They have those rubbery dinosaurs that move around and are triggered by movement in front of them. Well, Ostin was looking at these and trying to make them all move. Most of them just moved their heads and roared. But.... as I turned my head to tell him it was time to go (again!), the one he had his hand in front of gave a lurch forward, moved it's wings and made a high pitch sound. I don't think I've ever seen him jump so high! It was one of those moments when I really wanted him to do it again just so I could get documentation of it to show everyone. I just about doubled up on the floor right there in the middle of Target. Man, I really wish I could have gotten that on camera.

Ostin

I found this video on the kids computer tonight. Boy did I need the laugh that this brought.

Disney January 2011

Here are some pictures from our Disney day trip. We went down for Caitlin's performance at Downtown Disney. We didn't go to any of the parks, we just stayed in the Marketplace and went to the Lego store and the Disney store. We had fun, but it was cold and windy. I think it would have been a nice day if the wind wasn't blowing, but it was picking up off the water and had so much moisture in it that it was just bone chilling.

Killing time with the boys.
You can see how cold Caleb felt.


The boys being Jedi and having a light saber duel.

More Jedi fighting.

Kid Conversation

This is what I overheard between Ostin and Caleb this morning:

Caleb: Look, a spider web.
Ostin: Let the spider bite you and then you can be Spiderman.
Caleb: Yeah, but then I can beat you up.

Don't you just love the way my son's mind works. No thought about any other kind of super powers he would get, just that he'd be able to beat up his brother.

Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Yep, She's Mine

I woke up this morning sick. Very sick. Suffice to say, I spent the whole morning in bed. Caitlin was a great help. She kept the boys quiet, got breakfast for everybody and kept checking on me to make sure I was okay and didn't need anything. She even put some clothes in dryer for me so they wouldn't go bad sitting in the washing machine.

I got up just a little bit ago to try and find something light to eat, in hopes that the virus I have has finally run it's course. As I opened the door, Caitlin is sitting at the kitchen table with floss, scissors, and tape trying to learn how to make friendship bracelets. The t.v. was on, but it was on a music channel playing Christmas music.

Ahhh. Now anyone who knows me, knows that I love to craft and as soon as Christmas music is being played, I have it going all the time. So I guess there is no denying that she's mine!
