Snow Day

Last Monday it finally looked like Winter around here. The kids were out of school so they put on their snow pants and headed outside. Colton lasted only a few minutes because it was freezing!


Kirsten and Daddy stayed out long enough to make this snowman.


Max loved walking around in the snow.







Kirsten loves doing experiments so I thought it would be fun to show her how to make marshmallows. I've never made them either so it was an experiment for me too. They were a huge mess we had marshmallow cream all over the kitchen but it was a pretty neat process.


I saw on Pinterest some ideas for a Minute to Win It Valentine's edition game. So that's what we did for FHE after Kirsten told us a story about Penguins who fell in love. We took turns wrapping each other in toilet paper.










Stacking conversation hearts.


Throwing marshmallows in a bowl and moving conversation hearts with a pencil from one bowl to the other. It was quite fun I must say.


Max kept putting conversation hearts in his mouth and then spiting them out. So Colton would pick them up and try to clean them off.

Last couple weeks

Kirsten made her Valentine's and box on Saturday. She is getting so big. She did it all by herself and really did want her picture taken to document it so she was being a little silly.

Max looked cute eating his pancakes the other day.




There are days when the first thing these boys do when we get home is take their pants off. For the most part they love playing together. Max really likes to push Colton's buttons and he loves to turn the light off to get Colton's reaction. And yes that is food all over Max's face.









Rachel made me a delicious dinner for my birthday. The kids were really excited that they got to see their new snake eat. it was pretty disgusting.


Jonathan heard about this restaurant in Tulsa that had trains everywhere so we decided we better take Colton to it. As expected, he loved it. He kept saying "mommy hurry up" and pointing to a train he wanted to go look at.






Going on a walk a couple weeks ago. There are a few empty lots in the back of our neighborhood that are perfect for throwing rocks and playing in dirt. Colton also liked the "tunnel". This is when the weather was still amazing!

Colton has a one track mind. He's been singing a lot lately. When he sings he gets really into it. His voice drops a few octaves and he totally rocks out. His favorite songs..."the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. Down came the train goes round and round and round and round." and "jingle bells, jingle bells, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding the train's comin' around". I have got to get it on video it's so funny.
