Winter Wonderland

I woke up this morning, looked out the window and surprise, white, everywhere! I loved it! So did Will. After breakfast he stared out the window and asked, "Make snowman now?" After Rosie laid down for her morning nap, we quickly put on our snow boots and snow suits and headed out the front door.

After the carrot and coals were in place, I was ready to get out of the chilling wind. Will didn't want to go inside. He's much tougher than I am. Will asked if we could "Make bigger snowman?" So we added a few more handfuls of snow to the base. Winter is here and we are excited!

On a totally different note, after running errands, the kids and I were quite tired. I got out of the car to unload the kids and they were both fast asleep . . . holding hands! I love little moments like that. It makes all the craziness worth it.

We're Back!!

Well, it's almost a month later and we now have a working computer. I am so excited to catch up on all the blogs. Here's what we've been up to this past month:

Oh shoot, I forgot the pictures show up in reverse order. Oh well! This is my beautiful little sister Amy, Rosie, my cool brother Josh, and Will at my Dad's house. We went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood and Will was in heaven. He couldn't believe all you had to do was knock on someone's door and they would give him "lots, lots, lots of candy!" Whenever they let Will choose what candy he wanted, without fail, he would pick a lollipop.

Here are the kids, ready to trick-or-treat. Rosie didn't like the bear head so much. She kept trying to rip it off during the night.

Clark turned the big 2-5! We had "Better than Almost Anything" Cake and celebrated the day Clark came into the world.

Our Computer Died!

Hello fellow bloggers! Our computer decided to be stubborn and stopped working and I'm suffering from blogging-withdrawals. I miss catching up with everyone! Hopefully we will get it fixed or maybe we'll splurge and get something totally new. In the mean time, just wanted to say I miss you all.

Will has been saying such funny things lately. Today, Clark let him wear his gun around the house (without the cylinder) and Will said, "Shoot Mama," which immediately eliminated his gun carrying privileges. So Clark took the gun away and told him that he needed to learn that we don't shoot people. After that, Will said with tears in his eyes, "Need gun!"

Then tonight, he was tossing in his sleep and he said, "Yes naptime, yes naptime!" Usually he fights me about naps so this was quite amusing.

Will is passionate about trains. Hmm, I wonder where he gets THAT from? :) While I was making some cookies, Will made a "spice train".

Rosie has been SO sick lately, it truly is sad. She has had a constant runny nose for 8 days now. Then today after storytime, she got a bloody nose out of the blue and a severe rash all over her chest, stomach, and back. I think it might be chicken pox, but do people even get chicken pox these days? I don't know how she could've gotten it. I think I'm going to take her to the doc tomorrow. It's her second time this week.

Nephew, football game, and nutrigrain bars

I'm going to keep this blog brief because I really should be going to bed. We all got a NASTY head cold and Clark's family is in town so we're trying to get over it quickly. Anyway, we now have a nephew, thanks to Steph and Ryan! We all fell in love instantly.





We went to the UW Cowboys game last Saturday and it wore Will out. Throughout the whole game, he scanned the field and the crowds for Pistol Pete. He loves that guy!
Rosie has been anxious to start eating real foods and one of her favorites is nutrigrain bars. This is her first time with it. She loved putting the little pieces in her mouth. It was quite messy but oh so adorable!
