Sunshine and Tadpoles

Xavier and Daddy's Enlightening Car Conversation:

Xavier:  Dad, why does the sun always follow me?
Dad:  What do you mean?  It's just up and really big, so maybe it looks like it's following you.
Xavier:  No, it watches me all the time and goes were I go.
Dad:  Why do you think it does that?
Xavier:  Silly, because it likes me! (giggling follows).  The sun is my friend. 

That conversation explains so much about Mr. Xavier's sunny disposition.  :)

Tadpoles:

Here is a picture of our makeshift Tupperware tadpole habitat.  Can you see the little black tadpoles inside?  Thanks to some very amorous frogs and lots of happy rain we noticed an overabundance of tadpoles in a quickly disappearing puddle in the front yard yesterday.  Not wanting to pass up a good science experiment we rescued some baby frogs from their quickly shrinking home and brought them inside.  The kids are very excited about their new "pets."  It should be fun watching these little guys grow and change.  Yea frogs! :)

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!
