Snow Much Fun!

With Thanksgiving this week, I have not had any jobs that I had to get done or stress about. It has been great! I have been able to just play with the kids all day long.
We had a couple days that we even ventured outside to play in the snow! They both absolutely love it! It is much easier this year than last- because Brookie can actually walk in her boots and snowsuit. She just gets mad when she gets it on her face and then wipes it off with her snow-covered gloves which just makes things worse.
Silas got a little snowboard yesterday so when we got home he had to try it out- even though it was snowing and there wasn't much daylight left. He had a blast and I must say is a natural at snowboarding. Our hill is anything but steep, but it is just right for him for now.
I just wanted to share our fun in the snow pictures and just say that I am so thankful for my kids. I need to just take a break more often and enjoy them and their little spirits. I hope you all have a fun winter and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Silly Girl!!

Brooklyn is absolutely hilarious! She makes each day so fun! Right now she is really into playing with babies, playing kitchen and wearing clothes either that are not hers or where they don't really belong. What I think is so funny, no one taught her to dress-up or play mommy- it is just natural. Ah girls! Just wanted to share a funny moment from our Brookie.

Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween! Si was a Frog and Brooke was a Duck. Aren't they so cute!?! The kids loved getting their faces painted and wearing their animal costumes. We didn't hit as many houses as we planned, but the kids enjoyed themselves anyway. And thankfully we only got like 20 peices of candy! Good for them, good for me. Si has already been planning what they are going to be next year. Hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

Well, I'm finally getting these posted. Here are the kids carving their pumpkins. Silas again, just like last year, wasn't too fond of diggin in and getting the gunk out. Brooke didn't mind it one bit. Brooke chose to just do a happy face and Silas of course chose a bat. Brooke helped me carve hers and Dad helped Si with his. Silas had tons of fun carving up the bat shape that they cut out. It was a fun family night. The finished products turned out pretty cute!
