Boots & Gloves

We bought Porter snow boots and some waterproof gloves last week because he loves to play in the snow and ends up freezing, even in a snowsuit. Today it snowed and it stuck to the trampoline so Porter went outside without telling me and came in with freezing cold hands so we got out the new snow gear. He was having lots of fun on the trampoline so I started to take pictures but once he saw me he started being a goofball. He ended up throwing snow at me and chased me inside and threw snow at the sliding glass door. When he came inside I asked him if the boots & gloves worked and he said no, but then I asked him if his hand or feet were wet and he said no again so I dont think he knows why he has to wear boots & gloves.

Beautiful Sunset

While I was cooking dinner I happened to look out the half closed verticals to see the sunset. It was beautiful! Sam said it looks like the sky is on fire and you can image how stories or legends are told of sunsets like this.

Ruby Laughing

Here Porter is getting Ruby to laugh.

Shoveling Snow

Sam bought a snow shovel last week to clear our driveway and sidewalk or sidement (sidewalk + cement) as Porter calls it. Porter loves to shovel the snow and has to put his whole body into it to get the shovel to move. The other day I couldn't find him and he had gone in the front yard to shovel. This morning he wanted to shovel so bad and we didn't want him in the front yard alone so we made him take the shovel to the backyard.

Ruby's Walker

Ruby loves her walker. At our house the only place she can go is the kitchen but I give her a couple snacks and she is happy to roam while we are eating or cleaning. She loves to play peek-a-boo from under the table and has found that she can grab Porters food that he leaves on the benches, uh-oh! Porter loves to play with her when she is in the walker, here he has a piece of fabric that he is pulling her around with. Sorry about the underwear but with potty training its hard to keep him in pants.

Family Night

For Family Night we frosted Christmas cookies. I had bought a sugar cookie frosting kit at Robert's for $3, I know big spender. Sam helped Porter frost and put sprinkles on the cookies. I helped Ruby but she was too fast for me and before I knew it she had the frosting in her mouth.

Home Depot

On Monday Sam was fixing our broken sprinkler system but forgot to buy one part so he asked me to stop by Home Depot after preschool. I really didn't want to because I was getting hungry but since I was going to be right there I stopped. Porter of course insisted on the huge truck shopping cart and it was the first time I had gone to Home Depot without Rubys car seat so I had to buckle her into the truck. Porter showed her how to drive. She loved stearing and I never knew Home Depot could be so much fun!
