Rain, Old Lady Practice, and Kids with Cameras

-
Yea! We finally got a decent rain storm! The city pool had to cancel swimming lessons that day due to the storm, but we didn't mind at all!


I think the kids got just as wet playing in the rain as they would have at the city pool anyway. :)

With the hot weather making it a bit hard to stand being outside I have taken this indoor time to further develop my old lady skills. My latest attempt at skill development has been experimenting with doilies. Here are a couple I've made this year. I think they turned out pretty good, don't you?


Now it's picture time!
Sorry, for the lack of pictures of the kids on this post, but it isn't entirely my fault. The kids have claimed the camera for the past two weeks and they don't tend to take pictures of themselves. Luckily we got this picture of Bekah taking a picture of Loyd taking a picture. Gotta love those moments! Here are a few of the things the kids thought photo worthy:

Bekah took this picture of her awesome block castle. I think it looks pretty neat. Way to go engineer Bekah!

This nice dinosaur patiently posed for Bekah while she snapped this rare image of a prehistoric beast.

Loyd wants his posterity to always remember Balls Boop Rag so he captured him in a moment of relaxation and meditation.

Bekah is showing off her aquarium. She made her pipe cleaner masterwork in story time.

Loyd didn't want Xavier's things to be left out of the record books so he kindly took this picture of Xavier's beloved friend, Cheeto the Cheetah.

Well, I hope you enjoyed a sneak peak into our week!

Happy Pictures!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
