snow days

We got our first real snow around here, and a good amount of it. enough to play in!! So thats exactly what we've been doing:


actually, i don't know if i'd call what chester did in the snow "playing". He was pensive and unsure, but gave it a good stare down, then went back inside (better than i thought)


just in the front yard


checking out this weird stuff


this is the typical "look" she's been giving us lately when we bundle her up. being encased in things isn't really her "thing" but i kept telling her we were about to do something really fun....
anyway this (above) would be the BEFORE pic


here's the "really fun" first time sledding thing


and this would be the AFTER shot. i'm calling this a success and am looking forward to our next downhill adventure

but much better then still pictures of this would be a video:


and because you know i like to let you guys have a chuckle:

whats going on

Nothing crazy to report, but then again, there is never a dull moment around here. Below is a random assortment of pictures that don't need (or rather, aren't getting) explanations, except the ones that are, or whatever.




talking tree


my new favorite look. i call it the rooster (haven't figured out WHAT to call the outift yet)





Naia's first book fair. a huge hit




so what if its december and all the real flowers are dead. we can still wear dresses and pick flowers around here.
