Thankfully we haven't had as much snow as last year. But we've still had plenty to keep us busy! This year Erin has enjoyed being out in the snow and going sledding. And the boys are finally old enough they can go sledding by themselves. So when Erin is done playing outside we go in to the sunroom and watch the boys sled down the hill until they wear out or I tell them they have to come in too.
I tackled painting the basement the past month or two. I painted the same green-gray that's in my kitchen down in the walkout part of the basement that serves as our crafty area. I also used the green on one wall behind the tv, but otherwise I used the same khaki color that is upstairs. In the meantime, Alex lost one of his front teeth. And then a few weeks later, the other one came out too. So he has a bit of a lisp these days and a goofy grin. :)

I took the kids up to the lake one weekend since Andy had to work long hours. It was not long after Mom and Dad had gotten a foot of snow and it was suppose to be warm while we were there. So not only did they get to play with Papa, but they had lots of fun in the snow too. We made the hike to the lake and had a snowball fight on the frozen lake. (There was so much snow that sledding didn't really work very well!) And later, we built snow forts in the back of the house and the snowball fight continued! Erin was out too, but not as long. She mainly wanted to build a snowman but got caught in the cross fire, so she didn't last too long.
