More snow days...

finally karate is back on again. the kids should be going back to school monday.

picking Wil up from his first Scout Campout. it got down to 12 degrees over night, with wind, and in the snow! He came home, put things away, bathed and then I found him asleep on the floor.

Snow day #8

Still no school so we headed down town today.


ice rink with national Archives in the back ground. the kids did really well. Tillman was eventually able to let go of me and the wall. Daniel is really smooth and fast out there. but he falls a lot and gets hurt, tired and flustered.


We loved the 3d imax ocean movie we saw today at the Museum of Natural History. It was my favorite so far. We looked at all the ocean stuff after the movie.



Kinda had the place to ourselves.


Shake Shack baby! look at Tillman eat like a man!


To the game! The kids were so excited, they didn't really know what to expect. When the crowd chanted "DEFENSE". Daniel thought they were saying "eat fudge" hahaha. so we started saying that the whole time instead. They loved all the games and entertainment during timeouts, quarters and half time.


Look who we saw on our way to the bathroom, THE WIZARD!!

Snow day #6

More snow stuff. No school tomorrow again. Trying to think of something to go do. Downtown museums are open, but I'm not sure if I want to put out all that effort. We'll see, maybe a game day at home. We have been doing some school work and projects.

Snow day #5



hot, hot, hot, chocolate, we got it! for breakfast. this is a Joe inspired breakfast. He likes to dip toast in hot chocolate. the kids like it too.

I turned Tillman off for a while.











It was nice to enjoy the snow and not have to shovel today. It maybe a few more days until the kids get back to school, but I think I'll venture out to the gym tomorrow. My home teacher, Bro. Morgan brought us cinnamon rolls tonight, they were good, I better get to the gym. He said the roads were ok, but not great.

Snow day#4

making her snow cave


snow plow! about 3:30pm



I had gone in for lunch and rest, then looked out and saw all our neighbors busting through the hard ice/snow mountain at the end of our drive way the snow plow had created when he came through. I headed out to pitch in, but they had already done so much. then we took some of the snow off our roof.
