Dylan's new room

Here is Dylan's new room. He decided on an airplane theme. The first 2 pictures are an old propeller that Matt and I have had for about 10 years and have always wanted to hang somewhere, and here was our chance. The black airplanes and clouds are chalkboard stick-ons. We still need to hang some planes from the ceiling but for now it's done. The room turned out great and he is as happy as can be. He now gets to stay up later than his brothers to read in his room.

Leftovers

Here is what I found on the counter when Jack was finished with his snack...I should have just given him a couple tablespoons of icing :o) I wonder if the Oreo people envisioned this being the outcome of their cookie. I think the practice of splitting and licking oreos is inborn. When Grant had his first oreo in the highchair, we looked over and he had split the oreo open and was going after the icing full force. Now he had never seen the boys do this, so how did he know? Inborn, I tell ya!

LOOK OUT WORLD

Matt checked out a new Karate place tonight in Pickerington and came home with 3 new uniforms! Yes, Grant is going to start Tiny Tigers in the very near future. Heaven help us all :o) He was so excited as you can tell from the picture. He grinned for the rest of the night.

I LOVE SNOW

I may be alone here, but I love snow! Let me re-phrase that, I love watching it snow through the windows of my warm house while drinking hot coffee :o) I get excited when it snows, it makes me want to sing the snow song from White Christmas. It is so pretty, it makes everything look so clean. I love the way it crunches under your feet and I love watching my boys watch the snow and play in the snow. I like playing in the snow and sledding with the boys, but I can only stay out for so long as I do not own a pair of snow pants or a hat or for that matter a good snow coat. My wool coat does not have a tight bottom and when Jack and I went sledding last week, the snow went right up my coat and onto my back! I need some good snow clothes as every mother does. So, I'm adding 'snow clothes for mom' to my list of wants. I wonder if this will be the "Snowstorm of 2010"? Have a great snowy day!

Happy New Year

Three cheers for anyone who survived the holidays! Rah, Rah, Rah! We had a great holiday with lots of family, lots of presents, and lots of parties! I think we partied with everyone in our family on both sides with the exception of my Dad's family who we are getting together with on Friday :o)  We also missed my cousin Mike and his family in Colorado who brought a new family member into the world on the 29th, a big welcome to sweet baby Noelle. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays as much as we did and are having as much fun cleaning everything up as we are!  I've got lots of pictures just waiting to find their way to the blog hopefully soon! I'm in the midst of de-cluttering and re-organizing most everything in the house so it may be awhile....
