Catching Up…

Sunday night tea and Bible time



For some reason, he really likes having his coat on backwards…



Gabe decided that he wanted to start sleeping on a pile of stuffed animals in Josy’s bedroom.



We had dinner with Gram and Gramps and the boys ended up in the bathtub.







Getting Josy used to ski boots



Lucy, eyeing Josy’s breakfast



The boys finally got haircuts! Josy was bummed because he wanted his hair short like Daddy’s “with hokey-pokeys on the top.”





Friday night dinner and a movie night: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!



Puppy Josy, snuggled up with all of his puppies



Nothing like story time with Gram and Gramps



Gabe and Gram made hot chocolate bombs. They looked (and tasted!) much better than the ones I tried to make last year…





Gabe went to Nerf Gun Night. There were only three kids, so I got to play too, which was fun. 



Josy was convinced he needed his astronaut costume at school and I was not about to say no when he’s just that cute.



I walked downstairs yesterday and they were all three reading.



Life might be a little crazy over here, but it’s fun.

Easter Eggs and Cars

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
