"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Anticipation...

Nick is almost as excited as the boys are that we are supposed to be getting snow tonight and tomorrow!  He took the guys out back to the shed to make sure that his snow blower was ready to go!

Star Student...

Today when I got to school, Ben's class was outside playing.  Ben's teacher started dismissing the kids from outside and pretty soon Ben was running down the hall toward me.  He was struggling to get the zipper down on his coat as he ran and when he reached me, he finally got the zipper down and showed me that he had a star student sticker on his shirt!  He was so excited to tell me and the best part is he got his little award for being a good listener today at school.  Good job Buddy!

Wired...

We got to take Nana and Gramps over to our new house today and walk around inside.  The electrician got a ton of the wiring done last week so we were pleased!  It's coming together!  (Thanks again Nana and Gramps for watching the kids last night so that we could go to Nick's Christmas party for work!)

Painting...

The thing that I love about Saturday mornings is that we don't have to rush around to get ready to go to school.  We can just take our time and then lazily choose what we would like to do first!  Today it was painting...

Activities...

Conner was craving a good coloring activity tonight... even better that it involved stickers!

Ben, as usual, wasn't interested in a new sticker book.  He needed a more hands-on activity!

Video Game...

Nick insisted on getting the boys this new Cars video game for Christmas and the boys love it!  It is hilarious to watch them trying to keep the car on the road!



Yes... More on the House...

Happy New Year!!!  We decided to start our year off with a trip to the new house!  We just can't help ourselves...
