I'm going to try this!

 I was checking out one of the crafty blogs this morning and found this: Hot Chocolate on a Stick
I've got to go to the store this morning and think I'll have to give this a try.  I'll let you know what I think of it when I get it done.

Late Fall 2011

Titus wanted to mow. Looks like he has a new job come spring.


Isabele refused to put her shoes on, so she had to stay on the deck. I think she's singing "Happy Birthday", one of her favorite songs.

Cooking?

The kids decided to make cookies and birthday cake. I knew what they were doing, and decided it was rather harmless. They played for a good 45 minutes, rearranging pasta, and whatever else they found in the pantry.




I love this one of Isabele - scratching her head, like she's trying to decide something important. I don't think there's anything left to take out of the pantry, so I'm not sure what she's deciding.

Dressed up.

Here we are, dressed up and headed out to a Christmas Party.

December 2, 2011 Snow Play

Titus and Isabele in the snow fort that Brian made for them.

Titus and Isabele and the Snowman. I think the table is awaiting his snack that the kids were going to make for him. They frequently make food for anyone who will eat it.

Thanks-giving 2011

I'm behind, yet again on posts.

Thanks-giving was enjoyable this year.  One of the highlights was going out to the cabin and shooting.  Everyone went, except Grandma (who elected to stay home).   There was lots of shooting of pumpkins, and even a couple of attempts (one successful) of exploding a pumpkin.  Titus and Alex worked on chopping some logs.  We had a nice fire to keep warm.
I need to remember to make sure we have some activities planned for next year.

November 29, 2011 Snowfall

The kids have been telling me for weeks that they really like to eat snow. Here they are, eating snow, and apparently enjoying it.
