Winter days....

What a whirlwind life has been since Christmas. We had such a long quiet weekend at Christmas and made so many plans for a quite, routine, well-budgeted start to our new year. HAHAHA! Oh well, the next few months hold lots of fun and adventure for us all. I'll start my catching up with random shots of our winter days and the little dusting of snow we got last week.....now its 70 degrees! (I'm going to miss this nice southern winter weather!) I'll devote a different post to all the fun we had when Grandma Maryann came to visit in January.

One way to warm up little feets on winter mornings.

Building forts and fires....every childhood should have days like this!

Teaching Rebecca loom knitting....the boys didn't quite get the point. LOL

Nice, son

She took to this craft with gusto!

First finished hat for the brother she claims to not like.....I suspect she likes him more than she lets on?

 Repainted playroom, someone got a hold of a sharpie before Christmas and I didn't have yellow paint to cover it up. I figure gray will hide all kinds of marks.

Rebecca's room went from gray to green, working on a woodland theme.

Poster she got at Callaway Gardens.

An owl lamp from wal-mart is a fun touch.

Levi's winter hat.

With goggles!

No, you still aren't allowed to drive.

Nuts and bolts....also known as fine motor skill work.

Golf tees and floral foam....pre-writing activities.

Little one wants to get in on the fun.

Aaron got a new title at work and left behind his old uniforms. He now gets to wear slacks and shirts in whatever colors he likes. (insert wolf whistle) 

Our 'big' snow.

Glad they like it because I think we'll see a lot more of this stuff as we travel!

warming up with her buddies......(this is not posed!)

 Isaiah is such a fire bug! He loves cozy blankets and hot cocoa too.

The snow seemed to bring out the birds. Here are a few we spotted along with Mountain Bluebirds, nuthatches, chickadees, cardinals, blue jays, and many more!

Winter and yarn just pair so well! Here is my own snow week project.

Rebecca made herself a hat too.

She donated four baby hats to this PRC. They were very grateful and made her feel special for using her talent to help others.

Friends....two peas in a pod.....Rebecca bought matching shirts at the mall.

Neighborhood watch

Checking out the new sign in the yard, burglars beware.

And this week its warm?! 70 degrees at the park this afternoon!

Chinese at the park, and he was telling me quite a story.

Going to be three soon!
